The Arches Provincial Park-Day 23, July 13

This is a public park on the western coastline of Newfoundland. Looking at this map of Newfoundland, Arches Provincial Park is located north of Gros Morne National Park. We stopped just for photos. What we found were “arches” created by glacial action, wind, and water erosion. Other environmental changes like severe storms continue to change the “arches.” One day they will be reduced down to rock pillars or sea stacks, it will take millions more years to happen.

What continues to amaze me are the rocks on the beach. They are exactly like the “river rocks” we purchase at Keller Materials back home. I know they don’t come here to get them- it’s just that cool! Enjoy the pictures!

The plant/flower is called Hogweed. It is Canada’s version of Poison Ivy. Rubbing up against it won’t hurt you, but if you cut the stem open and get the sap on you it causes some unpleasant welts/burns.
