Canadian Badlands Photos
The photos on this page are of our journey along the Red Deer River. This trip was from Drumheller to the Great Sand Hills of Saskatchewan. This was during the fall when the trees and shrubs’ colours are popping. Our trip ended that day at Fox Valley, which is outside of the Great Sand Hills. Additionally, we went to a country road to witness the Great Sand Hill Cranes migrating through at sunset over the Canadian prairies.
There are plenty of sandstone hoodoos as you hike the trails and marvel at the ancient rock art at Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park. Milk River is a great place to contemplate the hoodoos while paddling.
Kinbrook Island Provincial Park is just 90 minutes east of Calgary. You can find many bird species along the beach shore at this park.
And everywhere throughout the Canadian prairies are the ever historic and fading wooden Grain Elevators.
Activities
Outdoor fun is in abundance in this area. Travellers can follow the hoodoos along a dinosaur trail. You can go on a fossil hunt or hike where massive herds of buffalo once covered the land as far as the eye could see. You can also paddle and play on the waters of history-steeped rivers and lakes. Travellers can also find wildlife while exploring the area’s excellent trails on foot, on your mountain bike or on cross-country skis.
