Hoodoos

We had a lovely day trip to the Badlands recently. Yesterday's post about Little Fish Lake was only one part of it.
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.

I Hear Dinosaurs




Between Great Falls and Lewiston the land is open and rimmed by mountain ranges.
At certain times like when I stopped to admire this eastward scene, I could swear I heard a brontosaurus stomping.
