Crocker Cabins are in the town of Trout River in the South
Sector of Gros Morne National Park. Gros Morne is the
second largest national park in Atlantic Canada and is one of the most
spectacular.
Taking Route 430 at Deer Lake heading north,
will bring you to Wiltondale, where you turn left
onto Route 431. This scenic drive along
the south side of the Park includes such mountains as Kildevil
and Picatinerife.
You will pass through the communities of Glenburnie, Birchy Head, Shoal
Brook, and Winter House Brook. These are
all towns within the Park and within beautiful Bonne Bay South. Just before the town of Woody Point, there
will be a sharp left turn to continue driving on Route 431 to Trout River. You will be astonished at the contrasting
scenery on the opposite sides of the road.
The left looks barren, with rust-coloured mountains and rocks and scant
foliage while on the right there is typical vegetation, tree-covered hills, and
occasional glimpses of the ocean. This
short stretch of roadway between Woody Point and Trout River, 18 km long,
contains the extremely rare mantle rock, peridotite, from beneath the Earth’s
crust, which was instrumental in Gros Morne National
Park being designated a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
World Heritage Site (UNESCO). There are
four Park hiking trails along this road.
