Matt organized this trip for a group of hikers who wanted to experience the dramatic landscape and some of the culture of western Newfoundland. The hikes he selected ranged from the iconic scree trail up Gros Morne Mountain to winding coastal footpaths to off-trail forays up into the rough mantle rock. To lead us, Matt chose local guides Brent and Kevin. They were both skilled outdoorsmen and captivating storytellers who immersed us in Newfoundland’s culture and history during the 8-day trip. They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, attentive and so much fun to be with.
Matt took care of all the trip logistics. He kept us informed and on schedule, and had creative contingency plans for bad weather. There were unexpected surprises too, like the delightful gourmet dinner at the Pollen Nation Farm.
Matt, many of us are watching for your next trip!
