About this distance
Parks Canada quotes this route at ~35 km (Western Brook Pond to Highway 430 via Gros Morne Mountain), but that figure describes an unmarked, off-trail wilderness route ("There are no trails on the Long Range Mountains" -- Parks Canada) and reads as a rough planning estimate, not a surveyed distance. Far shows the real GPS-traced length of the actual route as walked (OSM relation 19672459, audited 2026-07-24: single continuous point-to-point path, no duplicate/backtracking segments, all 26 segments legitimately part of the route). No alternate/tighter OSM relation for this trail exists to swap in.
