I have a question or two that some of you may be able to answer:
1) I was thinking about getting into better shape and spending a day hiking Gros Morne. Has anyone attempted this climb? Did you find it worthwhile, or would I be better served hiking a different part of the park?
2) Regarding the ferry ride from NS to Newfoundland, and specifically cabin accommodations. They list several choices aside from the standard "reserve a seat". They have "dorm style" (I saw pictures - not horrible), and then they go into "4 berth cabin", "2 berth cabin", and "deluxe cabin". If you are traveling alone, do you end up sharing a 2 berth cabin with another traveler who you may not know? Just curious how that's setup. I could call them, but I figured I'd ask here first. I assume "deluxe cabin" is your own place (for $144/night I'd hope so!)?
Gros Morne is fantastic place to visit. It can be as long or short a visit as you have the time for. Check out grosmorne.com I've done the western brook pond hike and enjoyed it. The ferry tour supposed to be nice but we didnt have a reservation, so we didn't get on.
If you're taking the overnight crossing, get a cabin. the dormatory sleepers are bunk beds in a large room. not always quiet. The 4-berth cabin can be yours alone if you book it and don't bring any friends with you! It has its own shower and is quiet for a good night's rest. The deluxe is only available on the MV Atlantic Vision. If haven't been on this boat yet...
hope this helps...Sam
PS: yes I live in central Newfoundland, but I don't camp that much.
