Trans-Labrador Hwy Remote Overlanding Adventure E. 3 - Northern Québec Route 389 to Station Uapishka

Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 with off road teardrop trailer in tow we head north on Northern Québec Route 389 to the Trans-Labrador Highway on this overland adventure that would take us through Labrador and then the island of Newfoundland. Camping out and family fun for everyone was the plan as my wife Tori and I had our two kids and the dog along. Nothing like a little off-grid living, a road trip and a hike with kids...especially in a place were we're surrounded by remote wilderness.

We passed Manic 5, a huge power dam and then headed up a steep hill with several switchbacks as we pushed deep into Northern Québec through a long section of gravel highway. The road was very winding and felt sketchy in the earlier stretches where trucks were more prevalent. We entered the Uapishka (Groulx) Mountains and the scenery was quite beautiful as we drover adjacent to Lac Manicouagan and stopped at a pull over to take in a beautiful, mountain-shrouded view of the crater lake.

Soon, we reached Station Uapishka, an outpost run by the indigenous Pessamit Innu Council. There are backpacking trails in the area and they offer, camping and rooms, while in season, cultural experiences and paddling trips are available. We drove our truck and trailer right up onto the beach to camp in what was our favourite spot yet! We had a nice bonfire, a good meal and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. The next morning it was drizzling so we opened the awning on the trailer for some protection and ate breakfast before pulling out and continuing north to the Labrador border.
