Blow Me Down Mountain Trail – International Appalachian Trail

Blow-Me-Down Mountain Trail crosses the Blow Me Down Ophiolite Massif west of Corner Brook. The southern terminus of this 30km unmarked backcountry trail route is located near the western end of Serpentine Lake via Simms Gulch, while the northern terminus is located off the Forestry Road above Benoit's Cove, along Route 450 on the south side of the Bay of Islands. This spectacular and challenging trek crosses rust-colored peridotite from the earth's mantle and rises to a height of 650 meters.
