Horse Thief Canyon Canadian Badlands





 
It's obvious how the canyon got it's name.  Cowboys would rustle horses and hide them in this canyon.  Alberta Canada has it's cowboys and wild west history very similar to the states. Drumheller is part of the cowboy trail for those who are interested in the cowboy history. Horse Thief Canyon is located off the North Dinosaur Trail. 


Bieriot Ferry North Dinosaur Trail


 
Travelers must ride a ferry on the North Dinosaur Trail (Hwy 838) to cross Red Deer River.  Horse Thief Canyon is located on North Dinosaur Trail.  There were no cars or tourist so it was enjoyable.  It was almost like having the Badlands to ourselves in many places that we visited.
