Lying a scant 160 kilometres northeast of Calgary, the area around Drumheller is like a place from another planet.
Driving along in a typical prairie setting (farms, flat lands, pastures and crops), the
ground suddenly drops away into a wild moonscape-like setting, where the bones of 65 million year old dinosaurs have been
found. Drumheller sits in the Red Deer river valley, one of the premier fossil beds in the world. On the northern edge of the
town lies the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology - world reknown for its study and research into dinosaurs.
