Arctic hare, rock ptarmigan and caribou need privacy and a disturbance-free environment as they have their young and care for them in their first days of life.
The summit of Gros Morne Mountain, which includes the 8 km Summit Trail, is closed to visitors from May 1st to June 27th in order to protect wildlife. Arctic hare, rock ptarmigan and caribou need privacy and a disturbance-free environment as they have their young and care for them in their first days of life. For example, rock ptarmigan chicks are extremely vulnerable in their first week after hatching and must be warmed every few minutes. If a rock ptarmigan is distracted from her brood for too long, it can put the chicks at high risk of hypothermia and death. In cold, wet weather just a few minutes can put the chicks in danger. Similarly, caribou give birth to their calves on the mountain at this time and the newborns need to be undisturbed while they find their legs and build their strength to keep up with their mothers and avoid predators. While the mountain portion of the Gros Morne Mountain Trail is closed, the 4.5 km Approach Trail from the trailhead to the Ferry Gulch Brook bridge at the base of the mountain remains open.
