Description
The sun sets over a group of stacked rocks seen on the Hoodoo Trail (part of the Dinosaur Trail) in Drumheller Valley, Alberta.
Although there were many natural rock formations at this stop, these ones seemed to be man-made. The concept resembles that of an Inukshuk, although the shape of these formations don't resemble any Inukshuk I've seen before, and I'm not educated enough on the subject to say for sure if that's what these are.
When I went to visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology in Drumheller, I originally went just for the museum - I had no idea that there was landscape like this in the area. From the museum, there's a loop to the northwest known as the Dinosaur Trail, and another loop to the southeast known as the Hoodoo trail. These trails total approximately 60 kilometres, but they're well worth it. Although the museum was very interesting, it doesn't compare (in my opinion) to the sites on these trails. Badland canyons, a little church that's in the middle of nowhere (and only holds six people!), old mines, a suspension bridge, a mini ferry, the hoodoos in this picture, and a ghost town with a functioning hotel and saloon - a glorious time for any dinosaur, nature, and history lover.
