“My scariest encounter with a moose happened just around the bend,” Gros Morne National Park’s interpreter, Kris Orevec, told us.
“I was walking along the boardwalk and a mother moose had a baby in tow and I must have surprised them. The mother moose responded by charging directly at me. As you can see, there is no place to hide up here, so I quickly squeezed under the boardwalk and waited until the two moose ambled away.”
We were taking part in a hike to the Lookout Hills which is one of many guided walks that are part of the Trails, Tales and Tunes Festival which runs until May 29.
Our group of five hikers had just made it to the lookout platform at the top of the trail when Kris told us about her “moose incident.”
En route to the top we had seen a small moose and from the viewing platform had also seen four caribou on a distant snowfield.
We have done this hike on many occasions, but for the hikers from B.C., Manitoba and Ontario this was their first time up this trail.
For a special addition to this festival event on Sunday, May 22, the trip started with a boat trip across Bonne Bay from Norris Point and then an interpreted walk through the community of Woody Point.
From there we followed a short trail to the Discovery Centre, which is the start of the “normal” trail.
This is a big year for the festival since it is celebrating its fifth anniversary and “it seems to be getting larger and more popular” organizer Shirley Montague told us.
“In fact, this year we have made it several days longer than it was in the past.”
They have music workshops, interpretative walks and hikes, fancy dinners, boat tours and, of course, lots and lots of music. At times it is hard to choose what to do since there is so much to take in. [click to continue…]
