My mind’s turning increasingly “north” as weather improves here in Canada.
We have such a short hiking season, every day is precious.
Rogier of Bluepeak.net alerted me to Torngat in Labrador, Quebec.
Canadian Geographic of May/June 2007 …

That article describes a kayak tour.
But there is unusual, challenging climbing and hiking, as well. A number of outfitters can arrange a trip there.
The Torngat Mountains are entirely above the Arctic tree-line so there’s nothing to obstruct your views. (Or block the cold wind.)
