1. Bleriot Ferry

Reviewed By silverbrook - London, Canada
The Bleriot Ferry transports passengers on the very short trip back and forth across the Red Deer River along highway 838. The ride itself is free and the ferry can hold a small number of cars (3-6 I believe). You can ride inside your vehicle, or you can ride outside and listen to the stories and anecdotes of the friendly and informative ferryman. This is a must-do attraction when travelling in the Drumheller area if only for the novelty alone.

While at the Royal Tyrrell we heard about Horsethief Canyon, so we decided to visit - it's only a few minutes up the road, after all. We're very glad we did, as it's spectacular and well worth the trip. Mind you don't lose your hat in the wind, and I'm pretty sure I heard rattlesnakes off in the undergrowth, but if you don't get too adventurous in terms of where you go (or wear suitable clothing if you do), you'll be fine.

After spending a couple days in the Rockies in Banff National Park, a short drive east and it seems like you drop off the earth down into a very different place. Hoodoos are very interesting. There are other sights to see, hiking, dinosaurs, etc in Drumheller.

We stopped at this smallish church on a whim as we passed buy. It was inspirational. A great photo op spot.

Reviewed By JenniferandAlan - Easton, United States
This ia a historic stop. You can walk across the suspension bridge to the other side with the remains of coal mines--the beginnings of this place. If you are afraid of heights, don't look down and don't cross when others are crossing as the bridge will sway. This is worth a stop just to take in the history of mining here. Farther down the trail you can also stop at the Atlas Coal Mine for more insight into the mining in this area and see more of the badlands.
