The Labrador landscape is a beautiful mix of forest with some hills, lake and rivers. Labrador roads make an ideal adventure trip. Although many hundreds of kilometres long, the TransLabador highway is well maintained gravel except for a few areas where there is nothing but rocks with no gravel left to grade.

The TransLabrador Highway is mostly gravel. It's unfortunate that the government provides almost no stopping points along this very long and empty gravel road.

But this will only happen if you are prepared to stop on the edge of a gravel highway and put up with flying rocks. |
