Gros Morne is a mountain on the island of Newfoundland ( NL , Canada ). He is the namesake for Gros Morne National Park , the largest national park on the island, and part of the Long Range Mountains , a foothill of the Appalachian Mountains .

Gros Morne is, like the national park, in the west of the island, near the small town of Rocky Harbor. With its 807  m it is the second highest mountain on the island, only the mountain The Cabox is higher. Below its northern flank is Ten Mile Pond .
