The drives
- YDF → L'Anse aux Meadows
You land at Deer Lake and L'Anse aux Meadows is 436 km north. About 5h51 up Routes 430 and 436 — the full Viking Trail, past Gros Morne, to the Norse site at the island's tip.
- Rocky Harbour ↔ Twillingate
Coast to coast across Newfoundland: 427.6 km and 5h38 between the two headline destinations — an hour and three quarters longer than the airport pair people assume covers it.
- YDF → Roddickton
Deer Lake to Roddickton: 351 km and about 4h37 by Routes 430, 432 and 433 into Canada Bay — one of the remotest drives measured from either door.

You land at Deer Lake and Port au Choix is 236 km north. About 3h 3m up the Viking Trail to six thousand years of archaeology on one limestone point — with The Arches' sea-carved rock on the way.
