Where the dinosaurs roam


Sept. 17, 18
Dinosaur provincial park is just an amazing park. Totally different than any place we were ever been in. Located North east of Brooks Alberta, this park recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The land scape is referred as the badlands and seems it's from another planet.






This park contains one of the world's richest dinosaur fossil fields. Quite the feeling knowing you are walking on bones that were deposited here some 75 million years ago. Jan had a chance to hold an original dinosaur vertebra which she said was very, very heavy. Current day critters in the park include mule deer (seen), coyotes (heard), rattle snakes (maybe heard) scorpions and black widow spiders (neither seen or heard)

Despite the unsavory current inhabitants, we will definitely come back here again and stay longer.

  1. It sounds so neat and I would love to stay there with Avery but if I see a black widow spider I will absolutely freak out and get on a plane immediately! :(
