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 pavement. James Stoness – Photographer

Garden in Churchill
Many people grow gardens wherever they can find good soil. Here near the Churchill Falls outflow there is a perfect garden.
Road sign
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. There is so much to see that if would be nice to stop and get out and sample a little of what Labrador has to offer. But this will only happen if you are prepared to stop on the edge of a gravel highway and put up with flying rocks.
Goose Bay sign
Attractive sign welcomes tourists to Goose bay.
Hudson's Bay store
The Hudson’s Bay Store has a great museum featuring the history of trapping.
Long road ahead

Labrador River
Rivers stream down from the high country everywhere.
milkweed
