This park in the Northern Rockies region is 56 km (35 mi) northeast of Hinton. More importantly, it's home to the “hoodoos of the north.” They don’t get the same level of attention as their Badlands cousins, but they are impressive in their own right. They’re also easy to get to as they are just 2 km (1.2 mi) down the Wild Sculpture Trail. Once you’ve admired the hoodoos, be sure to take in all of Sundance Provincial Park’s other attractions. The park consists of two areas: Sundance Valley and Emerson Lakes. The Sundance Valley is where you’ll find the hoodoos but also Sundance Creek and spectacular sandstone cliffs. Emerson Lakes is a chain of five lakes that offer excellent fishing, swimming and paddling. (Only boats with electric motors are allowed.) Emerson Lakes also has 7 km (4 mi) of interpretive trails and a campground for those who want to extend their stay in the area.
