Located 2½ hours east of Calgary, Alberta, along the Red Deer River, this provincial park was established in 1955. The park exhibits prairie grasslands, badlands, and 200-year-old riverside Cottonwoods. In addition, 58 Dinosaur species have been discovered and 500+ specimens removed and now displayed in museums worldwide. In 1979 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Beautifully composed landscape Clifford. Very interesting landscape and story. I can just picture the dinosaurs wandering around. All you images have vibrant colours…beautiful.

HI Clifford! Interesting subject framed perfectly, like you always do. Out of all the documentary I saw about the badlands you show me a nice and complete shot. The height of the mount gives the back in time and the caves in the bottom are the milions years old dinosaurs period. Appreciate the deep blue sky as well. Great.
