1 Day of Dinosaurs and Hoodoos From Calgary to the Drumheller
Overview
Begin your journey from Calgary with a scenic drive across the prairies into the heart of the Canadian Badlands. Your first stop is Horseshoe Canyon, a dramatic valley with sweeping views and hiking trails. Continue to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, home to one of the world’s largest dinosaur fossil displays and an interpretive trail through the Badlands. Stop at the charming Little Church before heading into Drumheller to see the World’s Largest Dinosaur, where you can climb to the top for panoramic views. Enjoy lunch in town before visiting the Hoodoos, striking rock formations shaped over millions of years, and the nearby Star Mine Suspension Bridge, offering both history and scenery. With extra time, explore the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site for a glimpse into Alberta’s coal mining past. After a day of dinosaurs, hoodoos, and Badlands history, relax on the drive back to Calgary, catching a stunning prairie sunset to end your adventure.
