Getting Here by Road

From the province of Quebec, first drive to Labrador City in Western Labrador. Then take the Trans-Labrador Highway (Route 500) for approximately 525 km (315 miles) to Happy Valley-Goose Bay Airport.

If driving from the Island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador, take the Strait of Belle Isle Ferry. The ferry is a drive-on, drive-off service, and the crossing takes about 90 minutes. Next, drive to Happy Valley-Goose Bay along the Trans-Labrador Highway (Route 510). Driving distance from the ferry terminal to Happy Valley-Goose Bay Airport is about 620 km (370 mi). Please note that this route is paved for the first 80 km (50 miles), and is a gravel highway until just outside of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Driving time will vary depending on road conditions.

This trip changed me, but I have no words for it. When I need to feel peaceful - and these days, who doesn't - I will imagine the mist rolling down over the tops of the mountains in Nachvak Fiord. Words fail to adequately describe the clean-ness of the air, the aroma of the Labrador Tea under foot, the softness of the land, the darkness of the water, and the magic of it all. I feel incredibly blessed and fortunate to have spent some time in this very, very special place. I thank the Inuit from the bottom of my heart for their gift to us all.
