Hiking Tour vs Hiking Festival

The Gros Morne Hiking Festival is a celebration of hiking, great food, and shared adventure with like-minded outdoor enthusiasts. While we hike together, we recognize each participant is an individual. You are free to leave the group, skip certain hikes, take breaks, or turn back at any time. Our leaders are experienced volunteers and professional guides ready to share their trail knowledge, highlight unique geological features, and point out the best views. Crucially, when the weather turns and the fog rolls in, they know this terrain inside out and can guide everyone down safely.

This festival is designed for those who love hiking, good food, and adventure. We offer a well-organized, low cost, high-value experience that is accessible to everyone. Compared to expensive week-long tours offered by commercial companies, the festival provides amazing value. While our leaders are there to guide the way, this is ultimately a gathering of passionate hikers coming together to explore the best trails in Gros Morne.
