For two weeks one summer, I had the pleasure of exploring Newfoundland. I’d booked the trip to research and experience some of the best outdoor adventures the province has to offer. Although I’ve already documented most of the adventures on the blog, there’s plenty of great scenery from the trip I never shared. Here’s a look at Newfoundland in 25 photos from the East Coast Trail near St. John’s to Gros Morne National Park, from Trinity to the tip of the Bonavista Peninsula and from Fogo Island to Twillingate.

You’ll notice a lot of blue sky in the photos. I visited from June 19th – July 3rd and had only three days with any sort of rain. It was also a year with a bumper crop of icebergs.
