FEATURES

24_THE END OF THE ROAD
New Zealand’s remote Eastland province on the North Island has been the heartland of the country’s Maori peoples for centuries. Driving the spectacular coastal scenery of Highway 35, past small villages, wild horses and verdant green mountains, is a road trip of discovery.

36_THE DOMINION OF OH!
Bathed on the edge-of -the-planet radiance that is the Yukon summer, our road trippers forge ever northward, through Whitehorse, then Dawson and along the Dempster Highway. Great vistas appear like mirages and the road itself merges with the landscape - it’s the last road to the Yukon’s first fire.
