What to expect
Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of Drumheller Valley, a location that perfectly blends spectacular scenery with intriguing activities. Begin your escapade at Horseshoe Canyon, an impressive glacier-carved "U" formation nestled amidst golden prairies.
Then, pay a visit to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, famed for its ten distinct paleontology galleries where you'll come across 40 complete dinosaur skeletons and over 110,000 fossil specimens. Make a pit stop at the delightful Little Church, originally erected in 1968 by local contractor Trygve Seland alongside the Ministerial Association, and later refurbished in 1991 by inmates of the Drumheller Institution.
Proceed to the historic Suspension Bridge, built in 1931 for the coal miners of Star Mine, and delve into its importance. Lastly, gaze in wonder at the Drumheller hoodoos, iconic natural formations of the Alberta badlands. These mushroom-shaped structures are made up of sandstone and clay, with robust capstones that protect the softer base beneath. Wrap up your unforgettable adventure with a scenic drive back to Calgary in the early evening.
