The snow is great 'round these parts. I love this trial. When I say it, I mean it. This is the greatest trail I have ever been to. The water is very calming and helps you nourish your brain, maybe the best part! It also has a lot of historical impact that I've learned about. I would definitely go back if I came to newfoundland again.

This was a short and quick hike. An out and back loop that hardly took 15-20 minutes with enough time for pictures as well!
