Canada: Red Deer River Valley Badlands

We tried to get up early enough to catch a badland hike at the Tyrell Provincial Park but the drive took longer than anticipated and we had missed the last group. The park is an active dig site but due to the extremely hazardous heat conditions most of the trails are only passable in the cooler morning sun and only with a park guide. There were still a few short interpretive trails to do but I was dying in the heat and increasingly cranky. The hoodoos were interesting to look at and the visitor center was informative (and air conditioned!). The rest of the day was mostly spent lazing about the campground and eating ice cream. We went to bed early.
