ROADTRIP!


Well my family and I decided to go on a road trip together for our family vacation this year and we are planning to take a trip on an ecozone we learned about in school. And the one we chose is the Taiga Shield. This ecozone it located on both sides of the Hudson bay which is the Northwest Territories, a bit of Manitoba and ends at Labrador. The growing seasons are about 100-140 days yearly. The average daily temperature in January is from - 17 degrees Celsius to -27 degrees Celsius and the average July temperature is from 7.5 to 17.5 degrees Celsius. Sadly, there are currently no national parks that exist in the Taiga Shield. This all concludes to the Taiga Shield having a Maritime climate.

our plans are :
We drive from Yellowknife to the Great Slave lake and camp there for 2 days. ( hiking and fishing)
Then, drive to Hudson Bay and take a 7 days cruise around the border of labrador. hopefully,
we take a look at their mountains and go into the water and have some fun !
