West by Nature

Our version of western medicine.

With ancient mountains, fjords, and thousands of miles of coastline,
this wild and rugged region sports abundant breathing room and diverse
natural heritage, not to mention a pair of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The first, spanning 1,805 square kilometres, is Gros Morne National
Park. It boasts more than 100 kilometres of hiking trails, many passing
through the towering Long Range Mountains and the unique Tablelands.
The other, L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, the first European
settlement of the New World, features a reconstructed Viking village that
offers a glimpse into the life of Nordic visitors a thousand years ago.

For a truly out-of-this-world experience, the International Appalachian
Trail is a can’t-miss. The trail stretches from Mount Katahdin, Maine,
through eastern Canada and across western Newfoundland and
Labrador before extending into Europe.

Western Newfoundland also boasts conservation areas like the Codroy
Valley International Wetlands, where you can watch wildlife like moose,
caribou, and migratory birds. While this region may seem larger than life,
there are plenty of ways to take it all in. Spend a day hiking or kayaking
around the coast. Looking to relax? Kick back on one of the many
secluded sandy beaches.
