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.

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.

Mount Dana and Mount Gibbs are two extinct volcanoes that lie right on the eastern boundary of Yosemite National Park. Mount Dana is the second tallest peak in Yosemite standing at 13,061 ft. with Mount Gibbs, at 12,779 ft., as the sixth. Together, covered in red, metamorphic scree, they stand out among all the other white, granite peaks in the high country of Yosemite.
