Drumheller

Tucked along the Red Deer River in Alberta’s badlands, Drumheller is a town whose character is shaped by erosion-carved coulees and fossil-bearing sedimentary rock. The surrounding valley has yielded dinosaur remains for generations, and the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Midland Provincial Park is Canada’s leading institution devoted to dinosaur research and display. Hoodoos, the narrow sandstone pillars formed by wind and water, are another defining feature of the area. Coal mining also helped build the Drumheller Valley’s communities, a legacy recalled at the nearby Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site.
