This was one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The wide open expanse, untouched nature, pure isolation, and sheer magnificence of this land creeps its way into your soul while circumnavigating a lonely fjord in Newfoundland’s Long Range Mountains.
WARNING: This trail is not for the unprepared. It was extremely demanding, and required excellent navigation and survival skills. It should not be attempted by anyone that has any doubts in their capabilities, and who doesn’t know when to turn back. Adequate gear, and more importantly, an adequate mindset, are necessary for this hike.
Background
I was flying to Newfoundland last summer to visit my best friend, and we really wanted to try out all of our new hiking gear. I had a used (but new to me) tent, a new pot, and a backpack with only 80 kms on it, while he had his new sleeping bag and backpack. Plus, it was just going to be the two of us and we thought it would be a great way to cut up the week’s other activities of playing through Halo: Combat Evolved on coop, driving around, day hiking the famous trails nearby, and trying to find some vegan food for me on the rock.
