Overview

Start your day with a scenic 1.30 hours drive from Calgary to Drumheller, where Alberta’s prairies transform into the dramatic canyons of the Badlands.

Your first stop is Horseshoe Canyon, a breathtaking U-shaped valley with layered cliffs and hiking trails.

Next, visit the world-renowned Royal Tyrrell Museum, home to one of the largest collections of dinosaur skeletons, and enjoy a short hike on the Badlands Interpretive Trail.

Stop by the tiny yet Little Church before heading into town to see the 26m-tall World’s Largest Dinosaur.

Stroll Drumheller’s Downtown Plaza for shops and snacks, then enjoy lunch at a local café.

In the afternoon, explore the Hoodoos Trail with its iconic mushroom-shaped rock formations and visit the historic Star Mine Suspension Bridge.

If time allows, discover the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site. (Note: Closed for the Season. On closures, we visit the Last Chance Saloon.) Conclude with a scenic sunset drive back to Calgary.
