Travelling in Peterbilt Atlantic's territory? Embark on a journey through the picturesque landscapes where the beauty of Eastern Canada unfolds before your eyes on these five scenic drives.From the rugged cliffs of Newfoundland to the pastoral landscapes of Prince Edward Island, these five routes offer a glimpse into the region's natural splendor and cultural charm.

Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec: The Gaspe Peninsula is a stunning showcase of Quebec's natural beauty, with the rugged coastline of the Gulf of St. Lawrence on one side and dense forests on the other. The drive around the peninsula offers awe-inspiring views of Percé Rock and Bonaventure Island, and the winding roads lead through charming seaside villages and past lighthouses that stand as sentinels over this wild landscape. It's a journey that combines the thrill of discovery with the serene beauty of Quebec's maritime landscapes.

Fundy Coastal Drive, New Brunswick: The Bay of Fundy, famous for the world's highest tides, is the backdrop for this picturesque drive. From the historic city of Saint John to the geological wonders of the Hopewell Rocks, the Fundy Coastal Drive offers a mix of cultural experiences and natural phenomena. The changing tides create a dynamic landscape that transforms from vast coastal flats to deep water, twice a day, every day.

Cabot Trail, Nova Scotia: The Cabot Trail, a loop around Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island, is known for its dramatic coastal views and highland scenery. This drive takes you through the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, where steep cliffs and deep river canyons carve through the ancient landscape. The mix of Acadian, Irish, and Scottish cultures enriches the journey, making it a feast for the senses.

Viking Trail, Newfoundland: The Viking Trail is Newfoundland's northern adventure, leading to the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Gros Morne National Park and L'Anse aux Meadows. This drive is a journey back in time, where the earth's mantle thrusts up through the ground at Gros Morne, and Viking history comes alive at the northerly tip of the island. The rugged beauty of the coastline, dotted with fishing communities and framed by mountains and fjords, is unmatched.

Points East Coastal Drive, Prince Edward Island: PEI's Points East Coastal Drive encapsulates the island's charm with its red sand beaches, historic lighthouses, and rolling farmlands. This route offers a peaceful drive through coastal communities and past some of the island's most beautiful beaches and golf courses. It's a testament to the gentle beauty of PEI, where the pace of life slows, and the scenery captivates.

Each of these drives offers a unique experience, from the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Gaspe Peninsula to the cultural tapestry of Newfoundland's Viking Trail. They invite truckers and travelers alike to explore the rich landscapes and vibrant communities of Eastern Canada, making every journey an unforgettable adventure.
