Today was a great day. The drive was fantastic, and I even took a detour to see more things.
I left from Swift Current and headed to Drumheller, a location known for it's dinosaur discoveries and amazing canyon. The place did not disappoint!
They had a giant T-rex constructed near the visitor centre, which you could pay to climb the stairs of and get a picture inside it's giant mouth! I opted not to do this, and instead took a hike down the river, and across the Badlands to Horseshoe Canyon.
Carved by an ice age 12,000 years ago, the multi-coloured mounds were beautiful amongst the completely flat grasslands surrounding them.
Along the way, I stopped a few times for some of the nature I saw. No idea what half of the animals I saw were, but I liked it! I think one was a wolf, and the others looked like small prairie dogs? I really don't know.
After Drumheller, I headed to Calgary, and went to the top of the Tower. almost 200 meters up, I could see the whole town, and could almost see the Rocky Mountains (unfortunately there is a fair bit of smoke in the air from the fires up north)
I had a good look around town too. It has a very historic feel, with a lot of cool looking bars and restaurants.
Tomorrow, Banff xx
