Dusky Grey White Buff Orange and Black tanned strata Stripe the Hills in Zebra like patterns. Everywhere the surface when dry is like an elephant s skin wrinkled and crumpled by the heat. When wet it s so Slick and Slippery that instant devastation is inevitable for the area lies in the Alberta Hail Belt and Flash Rains infrequently come to rip apart the landscape and give us the badlands. Along the red Deer River from Nevis to Atlee Alta., there s an unforgettable 150 Miles of this exciting terrain. Drumheller sits almost in the Middle just a Short 75 Miles Northeast of Calgary. Horseshoe Canyon is your first View and a perfect opener to the badlands. From rolling wheat lands to the West the ground plunges abruptly 200 to 300 feet into the badlands. Lost among the Cou Lees and sugar loaf Mounds you la see flaming Lemon yellow cacti Sage and Brush eking out a meagre living in the near desert climate. Chances Are you la have loaf eyes riveted to the ground for this is one of the world s finest areas for collecting Dinosaur Bones. Contrary to popular be Lief most of these Are Mere fragments scant evidence of their past owners. Usually a Trail of Bone begins with Fine purple hued Sand leading quickly up Gully to larger one Inch pieces and occasionally a fist sized Lump. To get the Good pieces requires hours of climb i n g about the Steep Dusty slopes endlessly searching overhead that old Prairie Sun just never seems to Stop. Still an occasional piece of Luck nets a bit of leg Bone perhaps a portion of jaw or. Even a tooth. All Are invariably from the Duck billed Dinosaur Edmon to saurus our very own species. These docile Fellows roamed about Here when the land was far different than now. Think of the present coast of Georgia with its marshy lagoons and mangrove swamps and you be a pretty close parallel. Along this coast these magnificent beasts wandered either feeding on the plants in the water lunching on Shore or having dinner with each other. In any Case death brought burial in the mods and eventually pet Ifica t i o a the replacing of the Bony Structure by various minerals notably Agate. Into this marvellous sub tropical setting came a catastrophe some 63 million years ago which eliminated All of the dinosaurs Over one half the flowering plants and coun travel Page less other land and oceanic species. Since it affected both land and sea simultaneously some scientists now attribute it to a colossal explosion or Supernova in outer space. This would blast the Earth with radiation causing instant die off of All but the shielded species. However should this have been insufficient the heat generated would bake everything and cause monumental Hurri canes. These would sweep the Earth with terrifying Force re moving All in their paths and raising dust storms of immense proportions. Mere speculation perhaps but then a fitting end for such magnificent creatures. And so As you stroll amongst these knolls remember that Lush sea coast those terrifying dinosaurs and then a sudden Flash of intense Blue Light. Apart from Dinosaur Bones the Region holds a fascinating array of wierd shapes Moon like rocks Coal mines Stone capped hoodoos and ancient Oyster shells. At Drumheller there s a Fine museum with plenty of local Talent to Tell you where to go and what to look for. Try a Jaunt Down River to the old ghost town of Wayne or take a drive up the Dinosaur Trail to Munson ferry one of the last Cable ferries of the old West. For those Bent on camping this is the place to stay. Amongst the cottonwoods by the ferry there is Shade and the River at hand for a dip. While the amenities Are limited it is far better than the unbelievable congestion of the Public Camp ground a town. There behind the Arena on a cinder parking lot you can Camp bumper to bumper for free. While this has its benefits and the Park is close by Munson ferry re Mains far better. For those not wishing to Camp there Are hotels and motels in town and an occasional tourist Home. However if you be Only a Day it s not that a from Zigary Jurt one and a half hours along Highway 9. This has the advantage of a Cool evening walk through Cal Gary s zoo or a trip to heritage Park both absolute necessities on any Agenda. Incidentally Calgary s massive life sized Model of Brontosaurus is a mystery to me for this particular giant never roamed the Al Berta lagoons. Perhaps though he does belong in the zoo along with All those other exotic Ani Mals. In any Case if you re West this summer Don t miss the badlands. While it s True that Ycu can see these in the Dino Saur provincial Park some 30 Miles Northeast of Brooks to me Drumheller has More to offer. Strangely it s cooler not so Little More open and free of those Prairie mosquitoes. Also i guess i like it Best a Mediterranean cruise of a lifetime at an affordable Price.
