Bordered by Quebec to the west and the Labrador Sea to the east and encompassing the island of Newfoundland, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador boasts an impressive landscape that ranges from snow-capped mountains to expansive ocean vistas. The 1,652 m (5,420 ft) Mount Caubvick is the highest point in Canada east of the Rockies, rising sharply from nearby sea level. Gently sloping river valleys and countless lakes dot the landscape, while colourful maritime villages look out over old fishing ports. From the East Coast Trail on the Avalon Peninsula to rugged hiking and biking routes that lead along stunning coastal shorelines, there are countless trail networks to explore. Secluded coves, sandy beaches, waterfalls, and expansive coastal views await road-trippers and backcountry explorers, while rivers, oceans, and ponds offer anglers and paddlers plenty of great destinations.
