We spent the first day of school learning about dinosaurs, fossils, bones and the evolution of the universe and the planet. Drumheller is 1-2 hours east of Calgary and is unlike any place I have ever been.
There are hoodoos that are sandstone structures that are carved away by rain and wind into different shapes.
We climbed coolees which are also sandstone but have no cap stone. The coolees are very big and have a line a coal that wraps around each peak. I learned that coal lights on fire easily and is made up of decomposed plants that eventually turn into rock.
The ground and the air were very dry. After being cold in Jasper and Yoho, it felt good to be warm again.
