Benefits of Hiking in Newfoundland

If you love to hike, Newfoundland has plenty to offer you, including:

• Natural beauty. Newfoundland is rich in natural abundance. Hike here and you are sure to see a variety of birds and plants. You may even see moose, puffins, and whales in season. Hike in northern areas and you may be able to admire the Northern Lights or icebergs floating in from the ocean.
• Urban and out-of-the-way hikes for all hiking levels. Whether you want an urban hike along steep hills or along the gentle trails of a botanical garden or whether you want to get off the beaten track, Newfoundland can accommodate you. You can hike in boreal forests, along established hiking trails, or along the world-famous East Coast Trail, which features hundreds of miles of hiking adventure.
