- The Aegis Moto Adventures Team is back on the road in a quest for new adventures in the Canadian Maritimes. This Canadian Maritime series includes nineteen (19) episodes. Join the team as they hit the highway and some backroads through Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, New Foundland and Labrador. Mike finally can check the Labrador/Quebec Highway off his list. Stayed tuned to see who becomes an honorary team member.
In this episode, the Aegis Team takes on the Trans-Labrador Highway. If you remember, the team had to alter its plans and delay tackling the Trans-Labrador Highway because forest fires caused a road closure. Now, with the firefighters gaining the upper hand, the road has been re-opened. The only difference on this attempt, is the opposite direction of travel. Join the team as they head out on the highway through the wilds of Labrador. Here we go! (Blanc Sablon, QC to Hope Port Simpson, NL)

Interesting video. I drove from Baie Comeau to Blanc Sablon in mid-June 2010. The road was about 90% gravel then with very few gas stops. The Trans-Lab Hwy had just opened about five months earlier and bridges were still being installed/replaced. What a ride! Now it seems like a piece of cake but I still hope to travel it one more time. I live in Kentucky and have been to 12 of the 13 Canadian provinces/territories but not Nunavut, so far. God willing, I will try to make it there maybe in the next 18 months. Of course, it will be by plane, lol!
Hi Steve,
Yes, things have been changing quickly. I'm sure the push is due to an alternate crossing to Newfoundland. Everything is trucked in.
Despite the easier trip, it's still a beautiful and remote area. It's definitely worth riding.
Safe travels and God's speed, Mike
Hello fellow motovlogger! I didn't know about the free sat phone they offer. If I do the Lab highway one of these days I'll be sure to look into it, thanks for the tip. I also welcome the news that it is completely paved now. This is the first I've heard of that. Sounds like time to plan that adventure soon.
Hi. I'm so glad you stopped by. As a matter of clarification, the Labrador section is all paved. However, south of Labrador City, there are intermittent sections of gravel as you go through Quebec. If you add the gravel sections together, you get about 150 km. The gravel is well backed, but caution is advised. Recently, graded sections can be miserable.
Good luck and take care, Mike
Labrador a place I've never been. Bucket list!
I sincerely hope you make it some day.
Take care, Mike
I drove my car from Newfoundland to Happy Valley Goose Bay.
Wow, what a great adventure.
Take care, Mike
Incredible, fascinating location, and excellent video; thank you.
Thanks for stopping by, Mike
Hello. Thank you for a great video. I would like to ask this: did you see places for overnight in an RV on the way…we place on doing this very trip next summer and are in the planning phase! Thanks for a great series of video! Good job!
Thanks for the compliment. There were pull-offs along the way, and we did see RV's parked there. The visual left me with the impression that camping in certain spots was acceptable. However, I'm a US citizen and not knowledgeable in this potentially legal question. I will defer a more definitive answer to Canadian sources such as RCMP, provincial police or credible RVing experts. There's no doubt that Canada attitudes seem more relaxed on this issue.
Best of luck on your trip, Mike
@@aegismotoadventures1616 Thanks Mike. Being from the Qc city area, we will do just that! All the best for a great end of 2023! Happy Travels in 2024 :-) Remi
