A year ago if you were to ask me what my favourite trail in Gros Morne was I would tell you that it definitely was NOT Green Gardens.
A favourite trail in Gros Morne National Park.... What is that.
I would follow my dislike of Green Gardens with its impossible to have a favourite because the whole park is just beautiful. Though I don't love the Green Gardens trail it too has stunning features.
My perspective on favourites completely changed this past month when I decided to incorporate Trout River Pond Trail into my Ultra Training. This trail had been on my to-do list for years and like most things in the craziness of day to day life I just wasn't able to squeeze it in.
The trail head is located at the entrance of Trout River Pond where the Tablelands Boat Tour departs.

As a moderately difficult trail it was a perfect fit for that particular day of training.
So let me set the scene..
You start in a lovely grassy field and proceed into and through the boreal forest. For about 5 kilometres you are running on a craggy woods trail. This time of year the trail is wet and muddy making the run that much more challenging and fun.
The trail then opens onto the barren Tablelands and it is like you've just ran onto another planet.
