Where the Dinosaurs Roam "Dinosaur Provincial Park"






The nearly 29-square-mile park is best known for its extensive fossil beds which have been identified with 35 different species of dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous Epoch (about 100 to 65 million years ago). There are also fossilized remains of Cretaceous fish, reptiles, and amphibians.  It was a spectacular sight and my camera does not give the depth and magnitude of the canyons.

Road Trip to Dinosaur Provincial Park







A few sights on the road trip to Dinosaur Provincial Park.  I particularly like the large steers quietly resting behind the fence-in pasture.  The old rusty truck with a dinosaur in a cage. The lonely decaying cabins surrounded by a golden prairie and blue skies.
