Where the Sun Rises First

Every hiker has a favourite time of year to hit the trails, and in Newfoundland and Labrador the fall hike is a favourite of many.

<p>The season delivers a sensual basket of natural treats: an earthy tone in the soft air, dappled sunlight in the thinning canopy of a deciduous woods, and along the coast a salt lick from breaking waves and seaborne mists. Bright reds, oranges and yellows reach from the tree top to the path underfoot. Birds hidden by summer greenery now become visible. Some of them are migratory, stopping off for a rest and a bellyful of berries before heading further south. It’s also berry picking season for those of us on the ground, with October being a particularly fine time to find partridgeberries.<br/>

Whatever the motivation, the fall is a great time of year to strap on a pair of hikers and hit the trails. To help get you started, we’ve put together a list of some of Newfoundland & Labrador’s best fall hikes. </p>
