'''Brooks'''[http://www.brooks.ca/][http://www.brookschamber.ab.ca/] is a small town in the Alberta Badlands region of Alberta, Canada. It's a good jumping-off point for Dinosaur Provincial Park (see below).

Get in

Brooks is located on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). The easiest way to get in is by car along this highway. It is 188km (about 2 hours by car) east of Calgary.

Get around

You will need a car to get around. Highway 876 lies north-east of town, running north from Highway 1 to Patricial. Avoid it, due to heavy truck traffic.
