This was a real adventure! I had been to Yellowstone
National Park in 1998 after the disastrous winter of mud and ice in
upstate New York that year. I missed sledding in 1999 due to work
commitments. By 2000 I was ready for something new and exciting.
I thought that Canada might be the best place to go for guaranteed snow,
but I couldn't decide where in Canada might be the best. I am
not a francophone so I didn't want to go to Quebec. I found Ed Burke
and Grand Hermine Adventures on the internet. Located in Labrador
West approximately a 1200 mile drive from New York City, The towns of
Labrador City and Wabush offer some of the least crowded trails you will
ever find. I mean you might go all day and see only one or two other
sledders. Absolutely gorgeous scenery and wildlife. Plenty of
lake riding available. Click on the links below to see some of the
sights that I was able to capture on this Northern Odyssey.
