The Badlands in Drumheller, Alberta

We captured this week’s photo while on a hiking tour of the rocky landscapes that surround the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Midland Provincial Park, located just outside the town of Drumheller.

The town of Drumheller, also known as the Dinosaur Capital of the World, is located in the badlands of east-central Alberta in a region often referred to as Dinosaur Valley. Years of erosion in the valley has exposed colourful canyons and interesting rock formations, revealing thousands of fossils and dinosaur bones in the process. It’s a fascinating environment.

If you look to the left of the photo, about 1/3 of the way up, you can see a family hiking with a blue wagon. Their presence adds a sense of scale and certainly puts the landscape into perspective.
