Overview

Hop into an open-air Jeep Wrangler and visit the Canadian Badlands and Museum in Drumheller that is known as the "Museum Dinosaur Capital of the World". Discover the best-kept secrets—hidden coulees - tucked-away overlooks, crossing the river by small ferry and visit the local favorite spots most visitors miss. From scenic off the beaten path gravel backroads to panoramic views, this tour will show you the heart of Canadian Badlands. Start the tour in Calgary with the first stop at Atlas Coal Mine Historical site near Drumheller. Explore fossil sites and walk through unique Hoodoos landscapes. Driving the road included in the Guinness World Records and lunch in "The Last Chance Saloon" is a must. Visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology and see after the Alberta's smallest church near by. Driving back to Calgary using the rural roads will give you perspective on rural Alberta's life.

Itinerary

1. Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site
The Atlas Coal Mine in Drumheller, Alberta, is a National Historic Site and a unique cultural landscape. It's the last of 139 mines in the Drumheller Valley and the most complete historic coal mine in Canada. The site includes underground and surface workings, residential buildings, and the last wooden tipple in Canada. It was active from 1936 to 1984 and now operates as a historic site and museum.
Duration: 15 mins
2. The Hoodoos
Willow Creek Hoodoos are among Alberta's most popular and widely-recognized geological formations of the Canadian Badlands landscape within the area between Drumheller and East Coulee.
Duration: 60 mins
3. Wayne
"11 Bridges to Wayne" in the Drumheller area holds a Guinness World Record for the most bridges found within the shortest distance. You'll cross 11 one-lane metal bridges over the Rosebud River within a 6-kilometer stretch. Lunch in the ghost town of Wayne at the legendary "The Last Chance Saloon." Favorite tales about the saloon include the time a bartender fired a few warning shots at customers who refused to pay for their drinks; those bullet holes are now framed on the wall.
Duration: 60 mins
4. Royal Tyrrell Museum
Set in the rugged Alberta badlands, the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology displays one of the world's largest collections of dinosaurs. With ever-changing exhibits and self-guided experiences year-round, there is always something new to discover
Duration: 120 mins
5. The Little Church
With a capacity of six people, Drumheller's Little Church puts a new spin on the old nursery rhyme. But while it's a small church, it has loads of charm and a big appeal. The church also has a rich story. It was built in 1958 by a local contractor in cooperation with the ministerial association.
Duration: 15 mins
6. Horsethief Canyon
This U-shaped canyon is named for thieves who stole horses and hid them here! Is located 2,000 km far from the Grand Canyon in the United States and the current US President would like to have this canyon as his. This most beautiful 9 hole golf course is near the canyon.
Duration: 60 mins
7. Bleriot Ferry
***Summer Only*** Bleriot Ferry is a great way to cross the Red Deer River. This is a traditional cable ferry so it’s a slow and steady trip. Very enjoyable ride across the short distance.
