Drumheller


Drumheller is a town (formerly a city) on the Red Deer River in the Badlands of east-central Alberta, Canada. It is located 110 kilometers (68 mi) northeast of Calgary.

"The Royal Tyrrell Museum is in the heart of the badlands, located 6 kilometres northwest of Drumheller in Midland Provincial Park. Our building covers more than 11,200 sq.metres (120,000 sq.ft.) with more than 4,400 sq.metres devoted to displays!"

Flood waters from melting glaciers carved the Red Deer River valley more than 10,000 years ago, exposing dinosaur fossils and creating what is known as the badlands.
