Red Deer River

 

Late afternoon view of Red Deer River from North Dinosaur Trail.  Red Deer River is 450 mile long and got its name from the translation of Was-ka-soo which means "elk river" in the Cree language.

More photos of the valley and Red Deer River.  I particularly liked the cloud formation over the valley.

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.
