My hubby and I recently spent a day with two awesome friends in the starkly beautiful Badlands of Drumheller. If you are planning a trip to Alberta or haven’t been to Drumheller in awhile, it is well worth however many kilometers you have to drive/swim/jetpack to get there. Make sure you at least walk part of the trail system, and tour the Midland coal mine site nearby. And don’t forget to spend a few hours in the incredible Tyrrell Museum!
Really great photo!
Thank you! 🙂
Very special landscape.
It is! I hadn’t been there in some time, and it was great to spend a day wandering around.
Amazing terrain!
It is quite incredible – so desert-like, with cacti and sage growing everywhere.
Intriguing Photo..it reminds of that mountain in Close Encounters of the Third Kind! Hope all is well with you, xo Johanna
I hadn’t thought of that! 🙂
Plugging away at a very busy week, so happy for the bit of rain we’re getting (but shuddering at the thought of the weeds in the garden). Hope you’re having a sunshine-filled week so far!
What interesting formations! I had no idea Alberta looked like this!
We have some pretty interesting (and diverse) landscapes! 🙂
Great pix from a great day!
It was so fun! 🙂
I think the name is appropriate. Badlands of Drumheller. It has a certain feel to it. Great photo. I had no idea that cacti and sage would grow that far north. Learned something new today. Thank you.
It is a very fascinating landscape, that’s for sure! So harsh, dry, and unforgiving – but full of all kinds of plants (and some animals) we see few other places in the province.
Yes, the badlands there are amazing. I went in winter, so the coal mine was sadly closed. I especially loved Wayne and Dorothy, so forlorn, yet beautiful.
I always forget how much I love the area until I get back to see it again…in these places you can really feel history.
The badlands are fascinating. It was such a nice surprise when we visited Drumheller the first time. An exciting landscape after driving over the prairie for an hour:) Lovely capture!
Thanks! I love how this province holds so many geographical wonders…. 🙂
