Late Spring after most of the snow has melted but before leaves sprout on the trees and small shrubs cover the ground is the best time of year to search for new trail routes, as it is easier to see the lay of the land and the open spaces and cliff faces ideal for viewpoints.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The narrow ridge protrudes from the Appalachian Mountains on the north side of the river in such a way as to provide wide angle views both east up the river and west out the Humber Arm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arne’s Lookout at the top of the ridge provides a more complete view of the Humber Arm and Blow Me Down Mountains.\u00a0 From there hikers can either turn east towards Man In The Mountain and continue on the Humber Valley Trail to Wild Cove Valley and Humber Village, or turn west and head back down the mountain on the original trail leading to and from the western trailhead.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the trailhead, whether at the beginning or end of your trek, be sure to check out our sign on The Mapping of Newfoundland, including the work of James Cook who explored and surveyed the Humber Valley in the summer of 1767.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
