Driving from Woody Point to Trout River you will come upon this special place. On the right side of the road is the typical green NL vegetation while on the left there is a reddish brown flat topped mountain barren of vegetation. The tablelands were formed hundreds of millions of years ago when the Africa plate collided with the North America plate and forced the mantle of the earth up. It is actually the remains of the ancient ocean floor. This rock lacks nutrients for plant life and is toxic to them so the look is that of a barren desert. The reddish brown color is from the rock that is high in iron and is actually rusting. Who knew. The parking lots get you close enough to take a short stroll even if you don't do the whole hike then you too can say you walked on the ocean floor.

Great little easy walk, super wide and well maintained path. I walked to here on my way to Snug Harbour and was happy with how scenic it was.

On our “staycation” in July, we took a drive to the lovely community of Fleur de Lys. We stopped at the Dorset Soapstone Quarry. This is a small but well done museum chronicling the lives of the Dorset people and their use of soapstone in their daily living. Once we saw the displays in the museum, we walked up the hill to the quarry itself. It’s an interesting display and a good drive for those who like to get “off the beaten path”.
