NB Hikes from Drumheller to the Royal Tyrrell Museum or the reverse, from the Museum back to the town (6.5 km one way)
With the exception of the 80m descent the Canyon floor, all trails have no significant elevation gains.
NB Those who went to Mesa (Square) Butte last Thursday were reminded that Alberta weather is very unpredictable. Last year we went there the week before and we did not encounter snow or M U D! Just in case please bring spikes and 2 plastic bags!
If it rains before we go to Drumheller, the alternate hike would be changed to Horseshoe canyon!
