Photos: Dinosaur Provincial Park Badlands
byI’m a West Coast girl, born and raised. My boots are muddy 10 months of the year, I can tell the difference between a spruce, cedar, or pine cone, and I know that while seaweed is smelly at low-tide, it’s delicious on a specialty hot dog.
I’m used to damp, mossy, lush green coastal forests although the arid canyons, dusty coulees, prickly cacti and ancient fossil-filled Badlands of Alberta can make me pause in awe.
These photos were taken at Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta which is about 2 hours south of Drumheller (Dinosaur Valley and the Royal Tyrrell Museum) and 3 hour east of Calgary. I will have full coverage of this destination at a later time.

I was there some time back and had a good time. Royal Tyrrell is interesting (http://btr.michaelkwan.com/2010/04/05/shooting-dinosaurs-in-alberta-badlands/), but smaller than I expected. If you can, take the short drive out to see the Hoodoos too (http://flic.kr/p/7QNfsB). Pretty interesting stuff.
Yep! Saw a set of hoodoos the day before: http://www.miss604.com/2011/09/wild-west-badlands-tours-alberta.html
Really nice shots!
