The last six days have been spent crossing Labrador — and what an experience it was. We left the farmlands of Ontario and Quebec behind and traded them for vast and untamed wilderness. The Trans Labrador Highway is one of the most remote and rugged drives in North America. And we loved every second of it.
The last five days were spent crossing Labrador — and what an experience it was. We left behind the farmlands of Ontario and Quebec and traded them for vast, untamed wilderness. The Trans-Labrador Highway is one of the most remote and rugged drives in North America — and we loved every second of it.
Fuel stations and phone coverage were only available in the scattered towns of Labrador City, Churchill Falls, Happy Valley–Goose Bay, and a few small coastal communities. The towns themselves were humble and practical — not much to look at, but that’s part of what made the journey so special. It was exactly our kind of vibe.
On our first night, we boondocked on the edge of Labrador City, serenaded by train horns and the steady hum of the pulp mill. The pouring rain helped mute the noise — a little. In the nights that followed, we found gravel pits and roadside pullouts to make camp. Most nights, we shared the space with a few other overland travelers. Honestly, it beat any campground.
