Illustrated Field Journal for Newfoundland’s East Coast Trail

An Illustrated Field Journal for Newfoundland’s East Coast Trail (ECT Journal) features whimsical maps of 20 of the East Coast Trail’s 25 paths which I hiked in 2024. The maps convey important details about how to hike it, and what you can expect along the 336km route, which hugs Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula and passes through the capital, St. John’s. The ECT Journal is full of helpful hints, including where to stay, where to eat and how to get the best hiking experience.

National Geographic named the East Coast Trail one of the 10 best adventure destinations IN THE WORLD. The trail features puffins, whales, gulches, spouts, orchids, stacks, bald heads, lighthouses, arches, a suspension bridge, “tinkers,” and, of course, Newfoundlanders. And you can hike it from Inn to Inn if a tent is not your style.
