    Understand

    This region is where you find the the '''Alberta badlands''', a kind of weird and wonderful eroded landscape. Badlands are also found to the south in North Dakota and South Dakota in the United States. The best single destination for viewing the Alberta badlands is '''Dinosaur Provincial Park''' near Brooks.

    There are a number of good '''fossil''' beds and exhibits in this region. Top among them are the '''Royal Tyrrell Museum''' in Drumheller, and '''Dinosaur Provincial Park''' near Brooks. They are 177km apart, and each demands a day or two of attention, so allow at least three days to see them all. Both feature interpretive tours, that are also easy to moderate hikes, during the summer months.
