Virtual Tour of the Trans-Taiga Road

Still running along atop the esker, you will see a lot of this bright green moss covering the open gravel areas.

Km 178

Closeup view of the moss.

Nice view from atop the esker. The steep sides of the esker are clearly seen here.

Another nice spot to stop and get out to explore a little. There's a small lake just beyond the trees here.

The ground is covered with a thick luxuriant bed of lichens. The trees are jack pine.

The bridge across the Pontois River. This is the same style of bridge as what crosses the Rupert River along the James Bay Road.

View from the lookout at the rest stop/campground.

There's a nice campground here, on the east side of the bridge.

A campsite at this campground at the Pontois River.

Long lonely road!
