The highlight of a trip to Drumheller is of course the Royal Tyrrell Museum and its’ world-class dinosaur and fossil exhibits. But there is also an excellent selection of things to see and do on scenic drives around Drumheller. Follow GuideAlong's audio directions to do the Dinosaur Trail route which includes the museum as well as Horsethief Canyon, the Orkney Viewpoint, the World’s Biggest Little Church and even a free car ferry ride across the Red Deer River. Another route is the Hoodoo Trail, named for the striking hoodoo rock formations south of the town. Other highlights include the Rosedale Suspension Bridge, the almost ghost town of Wayne, the Atlas Coal Mine and more. Both loops can be completed easily in a day and are an excellent bonus to visiting the museum. Listen to interesting dinosaur commentary on the 1-hour connection as you approach Drumheller from Highway 2. Different stories play as you return to Highway 2 on Route 9/72 or to Calgary Airport through the pretty town of Rosedale.
