After our visit there we went to the Hoodoos and climbed a bit. The road to the lake is near the hoodoo site and rises behind it.
The highway in the distance in this picture goes right by the hoodoo site. This was taken coming back from the lake looking westward. That's the Red Deer River by the highway.
Looking south over the Red Deer River.
The hoodoos are popular. The Drumheller area is a great dinosaur area and the city has the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology.
Hoodoos have such personality.
They look like space aliens to me. Really cute space aliens.
We didn't go to the top of the ridge this time. It looks like an easy enough climb. But then you have to come back down.
The gravel road at the right of the photo is the road to Little Fish Lake Provincial Park.
I hope you've enjoyed this look at Alberta's Badlands.

They DO resemble space aliens! Trapped in stone. Oh, my, what if their leader comes looking for them and releases them, and he's mad, and we'll all have to pay.....
Crap, now I have THAT to worry about too! Sheesh.
:)
LOL! Good one df Bag Lady. And I bet the leader is mad.
And worry, you should. One of those aliens looks like a head of cattle to me...
Great photos and narrative, Leah. :)
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the piece, Hilary.
Unless we went as children, (and I don't remember) I don't think I've actually been there. I have always wanted to go though so thanks for the tour.
You're welcome, Reb. If you get a chance to go, do so.
Fascinating. I'm going back to the Hoodoo's site now.

They really are something, dfTerrie. Nice to know you enjoyed it.
Reb - yes, you have been there, but you were pretty young. In fact, I barely remember going....
I love that HOODOO that you do!
Elasticwaistbandlady, thanks and you made me laugh.
