Drumheller and Badlands

While visiting Drumheller, Alberta, we spent a day driving through the surrounding landscape.  Drumheller sits beside the Red Deer River whose drainage has exposed a badlands terrain famous for containing dinosaur fossils.

The Red Deer River valley



The province of Alberta is a major producer of flax.




Alberta is also a major producer of Canola.




A part of our loop drive was crossing the Red Deer River on a small ferry.



The town of Drumheller claims to have the world's largest dinosaur.



People can climb up through the statue and look out from within its mouth.



Another popular location is a collection of hoodoos.





The area is a wonderland for kids.
