Tour Planning ... 1 Day - Drumheller (Dinosaur Trail)

Drumheller Sightseeing Tour Highlights

Let's head out for the day to one of the most intriguing and spectacular areas in Alberta and perhaps one of the most fascinating in the world. A visit to Calgary and the Canadian Rockies is not complete without a trip to the Drumheller region and a visit to the spectacular Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology. Spend time exploring the many historic sites as we travel through the "Alberta Badlands". We follow the Dinosaur Trail, a network of roads that will take us around the Red Deer River Valley to uncover the man-made and natural wonders of Alberta's Badlands. As we approach Drumheller the rolling hills suddenly drop off hundreds of feet into mysterious winding canyons. Strange land formations rise up on all sides; sculpted by wind and water into hauntingly beautiful shapes sunbathed in terra cotta, bronze and amber. A trip to Dinosaur Provincial Park is also a 75 million-year foray back in time. The result is an eerie landscape that looks like another world! Today, after a century of excavations over 150 complete dinosaur skeletons have been discovered and are on display.
