Description
Explore the Canadian Badlands on a day trip from Calgary. Visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum, climb inside the World's Largest Dinosaur, and walk the boardwalks at the Willow Creek Hoodoos.
Begin your journey in Calgary and head to Horseshoe Canyon, where the flat prairie abruptly drops into a massive, glacier-carved canyon revealing multicolored layers of rock. Next, head to the world-renowned Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, spending over two hours exploring one of the planet's largest collections of dinosaur fossils and watching technicians work in a live preparation lab.
Move into the valley floor for a fun stop at The World's Largest Dinosaur, a towering 26-metre-tall fiberglass T-Rex that you can actually climb inside for a panoramic view of downtown Drumheller. After a break for lunch, walk the protected boardwalks at the Willow Creek Hoodoos to stand directly beside iconic, mushroom-shaped sandstone pillars sculpted by millions of years of erosion.
Nearby, cross the historic Star Mine Suspension Bridge over the Red Deer River to get a taste of the region's coal-mining past. Before heading back to Calgary, your guide will take a quick photo stop at The Little Church—a charming structure that sits just six people—and drive across a record-setting series of 11 one-lane bridges to explore the historic mining ghost town of Wayne.
