Hey there:
After our tour of the GBS at Bull Arm Site Gladys and I went on a 4 hour hike to Centre Hill in Sunnyside, NL which is near the Bull Arm Site.
Centre Hill is the highest point of land in eastern Newfoundland with an elevation of 384 metres of 1150 feet. The last 400 metres of the climb are the most strenuous. The hike itself takes 2 hours to reach Centre Hill and then 2 hours to come back out. For us it took us a little over 2 hours to get there but it was much easier coming back as it was down hill most of the way.
There is quite a bit of board walk across some of the marshes but is quite a nice hike. We did see one moose and if you look closely at the photo below you can see the moose on the left edge.
If you would like to see some more information on the Centre Hill Hike you can check out the website address below.

Enjoy.
Cheers.

We are off on the hike.
On the bridge about 15 minutes in.
Here's some of the board walk across a marsh.
You can see the water of Trinity Bay in the background.
Still a long ways to go.
See the moose - little dot on the left middle of the photo. He is there. :-)
Break time.
Centre Hill is in the background - about an hour away.
Across another marsh.
Into the boreal forest - sure is warm.
Another hill to climb.
Time for another break.
Near the top where you can see ponds as well as the bay.
Taking a break before the final ascent.
A place to rest and have a lunch before heading up on the final ascent.
Heading back down.
Gladys bringing a rock to help shore up a tight spot to cross on the marsh.
Resting for some refreshment before we make our final descent.
Gladys racing towards the finish.
Back on the bridge at the bottom again.
