Take a trip 90 minutes from Calgary and 69 million years (give or take) into the Earth’s primitive past. The impressively primeval Royal Tyrell Museum on the outskirts of Drumheller is home to a host of ancient fossil animals from the towering Tyrannosaurus rex to the shaggy woolly mammoth. Also enjoy an easy and interesting one-hour guided Badlands hike to experience the source of Alberta’s dinosaur finds firsthand.
