I just told a friend that when they were traveling to Alberta in Canada one place that they should think about stopping is the small town of Drumheller in the bad lands area in the middle of farm country. Besides hoodoos the badlands of Alberta also has provided one of the richest areas in the world for finding dinosaur bones in the world. So in the little town of Drumheller is one of the finest museums of paleontology you are likely to find – the Royal Tyrrell Museum. In addition to guided hikes to look for bones you can watch scientists piece back together their finds or just marvel at the skeletons they have assembled. They have the obligatory T-Rex (ok really an Albertasaurus) but this velociraptor skeleton was one of my favorites. Tell me that after watching Jurassic Park you don’t have a soft spot in your heart for this killing machine.

And if just looking at dinosaur bones is not enough for you, the town also has a large dinosaur (T Rex) that you can climb up and view out of the mouth.
