Driving to Hudson Bay and Caniapiscau Reservoir via Trans-Taiga road in Quebec. This is the most remote place you can reach by car in North America.
Trans-Taiga is the northernmost road in Eastern North America. It is 666 km long road, 2000 km north of Montreal. In the end you are 745 km away from the nearest town.
I drove there from Cincinnati in July. It was early spring in the area with some snow banks and ice that have not melted.
Hydro-Quebec power lines, the reason why the roads exist in the area.
