Overview

Visit the Canadian Badlands and Drumheller area known as the "Dinosaur Capital of the World".

Start the tour in Calgary with the first stop near Drumheller to explore fossil sites, walk through unique Hoodoos landscapes, and delve into the area's rich history.

Having lunch in "The Last Chance Saloon" is a must. A hundred years ago for some coal miners who did not pay for it...it was the last lunch.

Visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology and pray (if you wish) in the smallest church in Alberta. Cross the Red Deer river by ferry and visit an extraordinary ‘Rowleywood’, a rural Alberta ghost town

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.

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.

Bleriot Ferry (Pass By)

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.

Rowley--Ghost Town

Rowley, Alberta, or ‘Rowleywood’ is an extraordinary preserved rural Alberta ghost town with an official population of 12. This was a bustling Southern Alberta prairie town, with over 500 flourishing residents. But due to the devastating blow of the Great Depression, most residents abandoned the town and the once-thriving crops dried up due to lack of rain, leaving the place desolate and empty of any life. Part of Rowley’s charm is that while locals have spent thousands of dollars fixing up many of the old community’s homes and buildings to reflect the town’s pioneer days, there are still many others left abandoned, and offer ghost towners wonderful photo opportunities .
