She took us on a short hike and explained the geology of the area to us. The flat top Tablelands were formed when the earth’s mantle was forced up several hundred million years ago during a tectonic plate collision. Because it was raining, our hike was shortened a little. We would be getting rain off and on for the next few days. The rain limits the amount of photos I take.

After lunch we were given some time to wander the area and, of course, go to the gift shops. Karen became known as the gift shop lady on this trip. While she was checking out gift shops, I wandered around taking photos. Before reaching our motel this night we stopped at the Gros Morne National park visitor’s center.
