Location The Bay of Islands Complex forms a discontinuous north easterly trending belt of mafic-ultramafic massifs approximately 60 mi ( 100 km) long and 15 mi (25 km) wide on the west coast of Newfoundland (Fig. 1). The northernmost of the massifs, Table Mountain, lies within the Gros Morne National Park and can be reached by motor vehicle from the main Northern Penin-sula highway (Newfoundland 430) and the Bonne Bay road (Newfoundland 431). Visitors should turn left onto Newfound-land 431). Visitors should turn left onto Newfound-sures described in this guide will be found on the hills to the south of this road between a distance of 2 mi (3 km) and 6 mi ( 10 km) from the turn-off (Fig. 2). Local access is by foot since many outcrops are on the mountain top, which is, however, flat and easily traversed. Paths of easiest access to specific locations are shown in Figure 3. Park rangers are available to lead field excur sions and permits must be obtained if specimens are to be taken. Permits may be applied for by writing to Parks Canada Atlantic Regional Office, D.O.E. Historic Properties, Upper Water Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 1S9. It is also advisable to inform Park Headquarters in Rocky Harbour if an extended stay on the moun tain is planned. This guide describes two major outcrop sections separated by a distance of approximately 2.5 mi (4 km) driving.
