Cape
Chapeau Rouge is the most remarkable cape in all
Newfoundland - an immense heap of ragged craggy rocks,
placed one upon the other. Viewed from the sea, every
fathom of your move gives it a new shape. The most
striking appearance is when fog is hovering over it. It
appears like a Dutchman without legs, a hat, a Lion
Rampant, a bust, a broken turret and lastly a broken,
irregular craggy mountain.
Trail Length: 4km
Duration:
1-1.5 hours
Difficulty:
mostly level dry trails with approx. 20% up hill.
Some
moderately wet peat sections. Rest areas are provided
on trail. Water and a light snack are recommended.
High winds are common.
The trail leading to the
Cape is breathtaking by the scenery and the overall view
of the small town St. Lawrence where Cape Chapeau Rouge
stands tall guarding the entrance of the harbor.
