Me, Britt, and Bryan went to Drumheller, AB today. It’s almost two hours east of Calgary. The Drumheller Valley is in the part of Alberta known as The Badlands. It’s full of hills, coulees, and hoodoos. Of course, the area looks totally different in the winter. I could only imagine what it’s like in the summer.

Bones of many dinosaurs were found in the area–the first being the skull of an Albertasaurus (similar to a T-Rex, only smaller). To hold onto it’s historical past (from 60-70 million years ago), Drumheller hasĀ about 30 statues of dinosaurs throughout the town and is home to the largest statue of a dinosaur in Canada a T-Rex that stands over 86ft tall).

We also checked out the, I guess, village of Wayne. Wayne is pretty much a ghost town with a current population of 42.

On our way back from visiting the hoodoos, we walked (and ran) across a suspension bridge. That was pretty fun. Kind of scary too.
