On the drive to Drumheller, we took a brief stop in the village of Beiseker where Eamonn was asked by a local whether his realtor studies were sufficiently advanced for him to list this delightful single family home for sale!
Unfortunately, he had to decline the invitation, at least for the next 3 weeks!The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller is a fabulous place. The website says it is Canada's "only facility exclusively dedicated to the study of palaeontology; it is also a great place of discovery for all ages". We would absolutely back that statement. Our group consisted of pre-teens through to 40-somethings and we were all completely engaged throughout.

Strolling out into surrounding Badlands had a positively prehistoric feel to it...
We drove a few miles down the road to Rosedale to visit the 350ft long Star Mine Suspension Bridge...it swaaaaaayyyyyysssssss!...
Then we were onto the Hoodoos...http://www.traveldrumheller.com/hoodoos.html
With a full day and a fair old drive back to Okotoks afterwards, we were all a tad tired but it was an excellent day, both educational and great fun.
