Dinosaurs in Drumheller

For part 2 of my little summer vacation Chad and I went on a road trip for some camping in Drumheller. I've been wanting to go for so long!

The first thing we did after setting up camp was visit the Royal Tyrell Museum. A little piece of dinosaur heaven.
Seeing the skeletons of all this massive creatures is pretty cool and really not something everyone will experience. When I stop to think about it, it kind of blows my mind. Everything about it. How long ago they lived, the size and the fact that we really know a relatively small amount about them.

As well as dinosaurs, the museum also has a mammoth, sabre tooth tiger, turtles and tons of other awesome stuff. Some exhibits are interactive, others are just reading and they are all visually thrilling. It's freaking dinosaurs after all! Some of the dinosaurs in the museum are the biggest in the world, most complete, extremely rare and even the first of their kind to be discovered; a new species.

I probably should have paid closer attention in school, gone to Uni and been a Palaeontologist. Or an Egyptologist, that'd be cool too...

After the museum we took a drive up to Horse Thief Canyon for a little hike, then along the drive back we took the very short trip on Canada's last cable drawn ferry and another short stop for some pictures.
