Those of you unfamiliar with the geological nomenclature may confuse the name with a ride through a Spartan battlefield. The “Shield” in question, refers to the Canadian Shield, a large mass of bedrock covered by a thin layer of soil that forms the nucleus of Canada from Ontario’s near north to the Arctic.

The rare geography of the shield, while not providing massive tectonic mountains like the Rockies, provides incredibly diverse terrain with scattered lakes, bogs, hills, and exposed rock. We assure you that, by the end of the third day, you’ll understand very well what the Canadian Shield is, and what it has to offer.
