Follow an easy 2.5-kilometre return route at your own pace as GPS-triggered narration brings local legends to life. Hear about Cactus Jack and the Waldorf Hotel, the Johnston House, Municipal Cemetery, Water Tower, Legion Hall and other historic locations, with additional stories connected to landmarks across the Drumheller Valley.
