Description

Many hikers and trail runners find themselves on the Olympic Peninsula's Mt.Townsend for challenging vert and full Cascadia views, but few experience this part of the Olympics as anything more than an out-and-back. The Goodro Round - whose namesake, Mark Goodro, can frequently be found looking for connections among great Olympic trails - takes the road less traveled. It gives runners the ability to summit not one - but five peaks on a moderate-distance loop on the east side of the Olympics. The Goodro Round is special because of its variety.

Description

The trail is an out-and-back climb of Mount Paiko, in the heart of the mythical Pella region (where, among other things, Alexander the Great was born and raised). Starting from an old power line near the village of Eleftherochori, you will be crossing a very rugged, rocky, dry terrain, and may not see another person during the entire run. Turtles, however, are common sights, and according to rumors there are also wolves roaming the area.

Description

To provide road transportation linkages between western, central and coastal Labrador, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador began constructing the Trans Labrador Highway (TLH) in the late 1980s. The first phase, connection between Labrador City and Goose Bay, was completed in 1992 - the road was a two lane gravel surface highway.  Since this time, many upgrades have been completed and the entire 530km is now a more direct, paved route. Old sections of the highway can be seen as you drive along the new TLH.
