The illustrious wilderness of Canada extends all the way east to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The country as a whole is synonymous with pristine outdoors and the wild frontier, but the small slice of beauty found in the Tablelands and Gros Morne National Park is of the highest order.
The ancient rock formations have been created over time through plate tectonics. The Long Range Mountains, a segment of the Appalachian Mountain range, extend through the park, and the Tablelands possess peridotite – exposed mantle – that is an amazing sight to behold. Orange-hued stones throughout the barren landscape provide another-worldly feel to an exciting and historic experience.
The Trout River Gulch and much of the barren landscape was formed through glaciation, which occurred as recently as the last ice age. What was left in the wake of the retreating glaciers are the gorgeous geoformations of Gros Morne, the Tablelands, and the impressive island of Newfoundland.
This is where you come in! This program is designed to give you the best moments of the Tablelands while hiking your way to the top, a roughly three- to four-hour trek. This is the most direct route to the top, so it is a great way for impatient adventurers to get to the unprecedented views from the top of the hike.
Starting at the Tablelands Trail, you will follow the directions for the Lower Bowl Route. A stream will accompany your path, and you will cross it at the base of the bowl and continue up. In early summer, you may even catch a glimpse of a lingering snow bed from the winter and spring.
You will follow the rim of the bowl around until you reach the top, where congratulations and pictures are in order. You will be able to look out over the Trout River Gulch as well as Bonne Bay, some of the most remarkable vistas in Gros Morne. We will return the way we came, reliving the thrill of an exciting hike that you will remember fondly.
This hike is perfect for travelers and adventurers who want to take advantage of the unique topography of the Tablelands. The terrain has moments of difficulty with challenging paths and steep sections, so it would behoove you to bring a reasonable level of fitness to the hike.
Guiding through Gros Morne is our specialty, so we will make sure you have a safe and satisfying time digging into this amazing land and its natural culture.
Book this one-of-a-kind day hike NOW and experience the Tablelands from the Top of the Bowl for a truly Canadian outdoor experience!

I really loved it. Intro to rock climbing was an amazing experience. Explore-share team were so helpful in the process. The trip that I chose in the first place was not available and they managed to find alternatives and offer me the best possible solution in that situation. In the end I had a wonderful day and could not be happier!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

It would have been helpful to know it was suppose to be a Matterhorn prep course. The goals of the group were a little different.

I was very glad to have the Back country ski tour in Montata by following reasons. 1. I had quick replies from my coordinator and guide whenever I asked something; 2. My guide was cool. 3. The tour was well-planned and appropriate duration. 4. Snow was in a good condition. Thank you!!

Poor service from Explore-share! The vendor who provided the actual tour shared with Explore-share that heavy rains prevented them from doing a substantial section of the tour. I was not notified. The vendor also offered a substantial discount for what we were able to do and this was not shared with me either!

Neil was our guide and he was amazing! We did Camelback mountain climbing and he knew all about it and the other nearby mountains. Lots of great info and fun. I took my two boys, 9 and 11 years old plus climbed myself (44 years old). So perfect for all ages and skill levels. Definitely worth doing!!!

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
