Coast-to-Coast Trans-Canada Road Trip: Views from the Passenger Seat

Yesterday we reached the end of the road on our 7,000+ kilometre cross-Canada journey!

A total of sixty-nine days passed between the time we left our home in Victoria, British Columbia on the west coast of Canada and our arrival in St. John's, Newfoundland. I recently uploaded a post with our trip highlights and a humble and heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped us along the way here.

To commemorate our arrival in St. John's and the end of this once in a lifetime experience, I wanted to post a few of the pics I snapped from the passenger seat along the way - images of what the road looked like in each province we passed through. As always, I'm amazed by the diversity of landscapes to be found in this vast and gorgeous country we live in!
