Description
The Canadian Badlands harbour a unique swath of natural history, stretched across much of southern Alberta. The predominant landscape is prairie like youve never seen it � undulating, glacier-scoured terrain etched by coulees and treed valleys and dotted with high hills that offer sweeping views across big farms and ranches.Tracing a ragged line through these lands is the Red Deer River Valley, with much of its soft rock layers stripped away by wind and water to reveal fantastically-shaped badlands. This steady erosion continually exposes some of the worlds richest beds of dinosaur bones, many of them sheltered in fine provincial parks and displayed in both world-class and community museums. Indeed, much of the rich natural history of the Canadian Badlands is preserved in prairie parks and urban nature reserves. (www.canadianbadlands.com)
