| Abitibi is known throughout the world for its considerable mineral resources. This route will take you into the heart of this vast land and beckon you to delve into the thrilling history of mining in the days of the gold rush. Abitibi was also the site of forced colonization - a consequence of the 1929 stock market crash that propelled thousands of Québecers to move to the region and start over. Influenced by this exodus, the Clearers' Tour underscores the importance of the work carried out by these first pioneers. Route length: 309 km (192 mi.). | ||||||
