Horseshoe Canyon
Horseshoe Canyon offers a perfect blend of dramatic badlands scenery, moderate hiking routes, wildlife, and star‑filled skies—all in the heart of Drumheller. Whether you're a solo explorer, family, or photography enthusiast, this spot is a must-see on any Alberta Badlands adventure.
World's Largest Dinosaur
The World’s Largest Dinosaur is an iconic 86-foot-tall T. rex statue in Drumheller, Alberta—four times the size of a real T. rex. Visitors can climb 106 stairs inside to reach a viewing platform in its mouth, offering panoramic views of the town and badlands. Located beside the Drumheller Visitor Centre and Rotary Spray Park, it’s a fun stop for families and photo lovers. Great for a quick visit, selfies.
