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.

Stumbled upon this little gem way out off the beaten path. We had some time to kill after dinner and headed off to see what was around Drumheller. I was sad to see that you could not swim in the lake however that added to the tranquility of this spot. It seems to be a great spot if you want to get away from the rat race and just have a beautiful spot to relax and enjoy nature. Sad to see this beauty on the closures list for this year but glad I got to see this. -Dan and Alanna
