Horseshoe Canyon
Horseshoe Canyon in Drumheller is a stunning natural wonder shaped by thousands of years of erosion, forming a breathtaking U-shaped valley. Known for its striking layers of exposed rock and rugged terrain, this canyon offers a glimpse into the unique geology of the Canadian Badlands. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and ridges, visitors can enjoy panoramic views from above or explore the winding trails below, which reveal the intricate beauty of the landscape. The contrast between the arid desert-like environment and the lush vegetation along the canyon floor makes it a perfect stop for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers alike.
The Hoodoos
The Hoodoos in Drumheller are fascinating natural rock formations that have become iconic landmarks of the Canadian Badlands. Towering up to 7 meters high, these unique pillars are formed through millions of years of erosion, where hard sandstone tops protect the softer layers below, creating their distinct mushroom-like shape. Their striking appearance and rich reddish-brown color make them a captivating sight against the arid landscape. Located just outside Drumheller, the Hoodoos are steeped in Indigenous history and legend, believed to be petrified giants that come alive at night to protect the land. Visitors can explore the site up close via designated trails, learning about the geological and cultural significance of these ancient formations. A visit to the Hoodoos offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and the unique character of the Badlands.
World's Largest Dinosaur
The World's Largest Dinosaur in Drumheller is an iconic attraction that stands as a tribute to the region's rich paleontological history. This colossal Tyrannosaurus rex sculpture towers an impressive 26 meters (86 feet) tall, making it four times larger than an actual T. rex. Located in the heart of Drumheller, visitors can climb inside the dinosaur through a staircase leading to its mouth, which offers a panoramic view of the surrounding Badlands from the observation deck. The World's Largest Dinosaur is not only a fun and family-friendly attraction but also a symbol of Drumheller's deep connection to dinosaurs and fossils. It serves as a must-see stop for anyone exploring the Canadian Badlands and the Royal Tyrrell Museum. The site also supports local community projects, as a portion of the revenue from admission fees goes toward town improvements and initiatives.
