Dinosaur Provincial Park is a world renowned UNESCO Heritage Site featuring abundant fossils, a riverside campground in a stand of cottonwoods, self and guided tours, a gift shop and canteen . The Badlands - Great rivers that flowed here 75 million years ago left sand and mud deposits that make up the valley walls, hills and hoodoos of modern-day Dinosaur Provincial Park. At the end of the last ice age (about 13,000 years ago) water from the melting ice carved the valley through which the Red Deer River now flows. Today, water from prairie creeks and run-off continues to sculpt the layers of these badlands, the largest in Canada. The result is an eerie landscape that looks like another world!
