Reviewed By drb8053 - Ottawa, Canada
While at the Royal Tyrrell we heard about Horsethief Canyon, so we decided to visit - it's only a few minutes up the road, after all. We're very glad we did, as it's spectacular and well worth the trip. Mind you don't lose your hat in the wind, and I'm pretty sure I heard rattlesnakes off in the undergrowth, but if you don't get too adventurous in terms of where you go (or wear suitable clothing if you do), you'll be fine.

The Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site is considered Canada's most complete historic coal mine. We are currently closed for the season. Check our social media or website for updates. We'll see you all in 2021!
Reviewed By MsFudd - Edmonton, Canada
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 1/2 hours at the mine. Jay, our conductor, was able to share numerous background facts about the many structures. In addition to the train there are tours of the Tipple and other parts of the mine which require an amount of hiking. It's a great place to visit, particularly if you have interest in coal mining.

After spending a couple days in the Rockies in Banff National Park, a short drive east and it seems like you drop off the earth down into a very different place. Hoodoos are very interesting. There are other sights to see, hiking, dinosaurs, etc in Drumheller.
8. Rosedale Suspension Bridge

Reviewed By JenniferandAlan - Easton, United States
This ia a historic stop. You can walk across the suspension bridge to the other side with the remains of coal mines--the beginnings of this place. If you are afraid of heights, don't look down and don't cross when others are crossing as the bridge will sway. This is worth a stop just to take in the history of mining here. Farther down the trail you can also stop at the Atlas Coal Mine for more insight into the mining in this area and see more of the badlands.
