After checking into the Jurassic Motel (there's definitely a theme in this town), we set off to see the sights - out highway 838, past the Royal Tyrrell Museum (on tomorrow's itinerary) to Horse Thief Canyon. So, while it may not approach the scale of Green River Canyon in Utah, which we visited 3 years ago, it's still a pretty impressive sight and definitely worth stopping on a cross-Canada trip to see.
Cute little bugger, right? Don't read Ian's blog of today.
In my defense - the little buggers were totally
playing death by car!
How it got its name - bit of the Wild West there.
The bright green in the distance is early canola. Later in the season it turns to bright yellow. This we know due to a helpful information plaque provided by the government of Alberta (not shown).
Oh you fools, don't you know you have to climb back up? Younger than us, obviously.
And while we were rambling, we heard a familiar sound - common nighthawk! Kids at home, you'll know what this meant.
Very pretty delicate little flower, definitely not a wild rose. If anyone knows what this is, feel free.
i was expecting no pics of the canyons and only a pic of the restaurant you guys went to for dinner, but then I realized it was mom writing.
