Northern Newfoundland and Southern Labrador are too often overlooked as a tourist destination, but the Viking Trail is worth a trip. Beyond one National Park and three more National historic sites, residents of the Viking Trail know what they've got: A very special place home to dozens of unique cultural, ecological, and geological anomalies.
The Viking Trail has been attracting visitors for thousands of years. This is the road to L'Anse-aux-Meadows where Vikings came ashore in the new world some 1000 years ago. Across the Straits of Belle Isle, the trail skims yellow-sand beaches and winds along mountainsides. Icebergs and whales meet offshore in the icy waters of the north Atlantic off both the island and mainland stretches of the Viking Trail. Moose, caribou, and black bears thrive in the largely undisturbed wilderness.
Rock-lovers will be pleased to hear Newfoundland's nickname, "The Rock", was not given in jest: this part of Canada's most Easterly province boasts an exposed portion of the earth's mantle (The Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park) and the limestone barrens of the Great Northern Peninsula are home to rare plants found nowhere else in the world.
