Moraine Desert Valley

The Moraine Desert Valley is a semi-desert valley located in the southern Torngat Mountains of Labrador. It is a little-known region that is remarkable for its vast dunes and magnificent moraine plateaus. A trip to the Moraine Desert Valley means finding yourself in one of the most unusual areas of Labrador. The stones, with shades of yellow, ocher and red can create optical illusions by changing colour from white, to yellow, to orange and red depending on the angle of the sun and overall luminosity during the day.

Throughout the summer, wandering caribou can be seen in the verdant micro-oasis of the valley. Tundra-dwelling black bear frequent the valley throughout the summer and are present more often during the salmon run. The animals in this isolated region of the Torngat Mountains are so unaccustomed to human presence that they are not afraid of visitors, but rather curious.

The valley is a fantastic place for mountain terrain bike (MTB) enthusiasts. Nothing is more enjoyable than exploring the tundra landscapes by rolling over the moraine plateaus between the colorful mountains and the blue river water.

The valley is a place not to be missed during your journey.
