The Dinosaur Trail

Dinosaur Provincial Park Open May through October, is where you can walk in the footstep of the mightiest creatures that walked our planet. Imagine Albertosaurus (Like T-Rex), crashing through ancient forests in hot pursuit of its prey. The Red Deer River and rain and winds have laid bare a treasure trove of fossils in one of the most productive fossil beds. This is now a Unesco World Heritage Sight (1979) and is an open-book window into life 75 million years ago. This is Canada's most extensive badlands, where you can see the strange formations and perhaps some of the endangered life in this mini-habitat. Located Northeast of Brooks on the Red Deer River. 403-378-4344
