Dinosaur Provincial Park

On the way back from Drumheller we stopped off at Dinosaur Provinicial Park near Brooks. Although it's name makes it sound like some kind of theme park, it's actually a really nice area which has been well looked after and left to be as natural as possible. Although it's huge, there is only one public loop road you can drive around & clearly marked trails - no exploring on your own!
Many dinosaur bones and fossils have been found here - especially the 'Albertosaurus' (it's real I haven't made it up) which is very much in evidence in this part of Alberta. Most of the exhibits in Drumheller originated here. Once again it was a lovely sunny day so we could enjoy the trails and the unique landscape (left). A lot of the ground is clay so it would be pretty horrible on rainy day!
