The Hoodoos

The Drumheller Hoodoos are one of the most iconic and otherworldly sights in Alberta’s Badlands—towering rock formations that look like something from another planet. You will be greeted by clusters of tall, thin rock spires topped with flat stones (called “capstones”). These formations can reach up to 5–7 metres (15–23 feet) tall Their layered colours—brown, tan, and reddish tones—show millions of years of Earth’s history The surrounding landscape is dry, rugged, and almost desert-like They were formed by erosion, where wind and rain slowly wore away softer rock, leaving these dramatic pillars behind.

Last Chance Saloon

A 100+ year-old saloon filled with antiques, taxidermy, and mining-era memorabilia Rustic wooden interiors that feel like stepping back into the old coal mining days of Alberta A lively, quirky atmosphere with vintage décor and stories everywhere It’s part restaurant, part mini-museum, and part local hangout. It feels like a real-life Wild West saloon Located in a near “ghost town” setting, adding to the atmosphere A perfect stop along scenic drives like the “11 Bridges to Wayne” route
