5 The Viking Trail ( Click here ), aka Rte 430, connects Newfoundland's two
World Heritage sites on the northern peninsula. Gros Morne National Park,
with its fjordlike lakes and geological oddities rests at its base, while the sublime,
1000-year-old Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows - Leif Eriksson's pad -
stares out from the peninsula's tip. The road is an attraction in its own right, hold-
ing close to the sea as it heads resolutely north past the ancient burial grounds
of Port au Choix and the ferry jump-off to big bad Labrador.
