Drumheller and The Badlands

An early morning start took us to Drumheller which is Dinosaur Country. As quoted from The Lonely Planet; "More complete dinosaur skeletons of the period 64-140million years ago have been found here than anywhere else on the planet." We paid a visit to the Royal Tyrrell Museum which displays many of these skeletons found in the area. It was very well presented.
Drumheller celebrates this by having the worlds largest replica of a dinosaur (T-Rex) outside their tourist information.
Upon entering The Badlands, the scenery changes dramatically, instead of flat Prairies, it is now deep canyons with hills showing all of the different periods in time. For example the dark layer at the bottom of the Hoodoos is where the sea was around 70 million years ago.
The Hoodoos are towers of sandstone formed by erosions.
We followed the Dinosaur trail loop which took us to the Bleirot Ferry. Basically a barge that we drove onto that takes you across the river for free.
The Badlands are definitely a must for anyone coming this way.
