I love how silent it is in Dinosaur Park while walking through the Hoodoos/trails - I'd pick it over Drumheller any day. Waterton is nice, but pretty tourist heavy.... Red Rock is surreal....just amazing! Writing On Stone Park is on the top of the list as there's some great camping there and no fee for Park entry. Milk River is a nice little town to visit as well. Wow! Haven't been to Red Rock Coulee before. I love the fact there's just a picnic bench and the rest is nature! Another great video - thanks for sharing!

On the main drag in Waterton Park in summer, it is common to see a bull elk settled down on the lawn just feet from the sidewalk. Being massive in size, [ weighing 392 - 1029 lbs.] sporting a huge rack of antlers, they don't seem to scare stupid tourists who approach them as if they are tame. It adds excitement to their vacation being nearly gored or stomped to death. Enjoyed your travelog. Thanks.

As another person commented; you don’t want to miss Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump. The history, culture, and lifestyle of the Blackfoot people is covered in this fascinating building, which is built in increasing levels into the side of the rocks leading up to the precipice of the jump. It’s very impressive because it is operated almost wholly by local indigenous people. The pride the young people take in their dancing brings a tear to the eye. To understand the significance of the millions of Bison which comprised every aspect of indigenous livelihood and culture, and which roamed the prairies and were wantonly slaughtered for game by the encroaching Europeans, is another reason for tears. Despite it all, this place is a beacon for hope.

Hi Chris. Subbed to your channel a couple weeks ago. 25% of Frank was buried during the slide, the rest of town was just west of the slide. The slide happened in 1903, when Alberta was still part of the Northwest Territories. Alberta became a Province in 1905, same day as Saskatchewan. Thank you for bringing us along for the Road Trip. Stay Safe and on to the next Adventure.

Could have done a long detailed Skit on Cypress Hills like the Kananaskis one, they aren't just hills there are many Small Mountains and large hills that go above 750metres and a huge 12km wide by 50km long Forest that just pops out of the badlands like Red Rock which is just 15 minutes away from the Park, the Cypress Hills are like Southern Alberta's and Saskatchewan's own little Appalachian Region. The City of Medicine Hat is also way more beautiful and full of Coulees and hills stretch out the Mid-Size City of about 85,000 ppl including RedCliff and Dunmore over an area that's the size of a more Urbanized Mid-Sized City like Lethbridge&Coaldale (a total of about 105,000) but coaldale is 10km outside of Lethbridge and many Businesses have been built in a couple new Industrial Parks between Coaldale and Lethbridge that ended up doing very good and a new Street Light Crossing was built on the Highway 3 Turnoff to the rapidly expanding Broxburn Industrial Park, which makes Coaldale and Lethbridge 5km apart once they move the City Sign and I'm Sure they will. The Indian Battle Park River Coulee trails that seperate East and West Lethbridge are beautiful parks and trails, however I prefer Medicine Hat as you get Coulees and Hills and the best City/Nature walking trails between EVERY neighborhood. It's paradise and 30 mins to Cypress and Red Rock. However my favorite Mid Size Urban City is Red Deer (125,000) and it has a vibrant DT.

There are many other places in Alberta beside Banff and Jasper that are just as stunning if not more with much less people. I can remember the last time family came to visit me and wanted to go see Lake Louise. The crowd and lack of parking lesser the experience like most places tourists hear about before coming to Alberta. Most other places mostly unknown from tourist in the rockies are more enjoyable and just as pretty in my opinion if you don’t mind camping.

The turn off to this park is at the gate where they close the highway to the Highwood pass. - All the bad lands are very slippery and hard to navigate in the rain or when wet.

Your video piques interest visiting a new geography that is available within my limitations. I particularly appreciate the 'distance/difficulty' access comments. Not so inclined to travel 2500 km south to see mountains and bears but the badlands and prairie towns are very appealing. I'll be digging in to your video list for more nuggets. Thank you again.

There is no highland pass in Kananaskis, there is a highWOOD pass though. We've been to every place you mentioned except Cypress hills and red rock coulee, both places we'd like to visit. The campground at Dinosaur provincial park is HOT with no shade, not recommended for tenting.

Thank you Chris! I saw your 'night' photos and videos and have become fun of you. I adore my Alberta! Red Rock Coulee is one of my favorite places - magical, secluded and gives the feeling I am alone on the other planet. You mentioned about Bad lands nearby - could you clarify their location?

You missed the Remington Carriage museum and the Fay Wray fountain in Cardston. She was the star of the 1923 King Kong and was born in the area. There is also the Charles Card museum, the first Morman to move to the area I believe and the Mormon temple which was the first temple in Canada.

Red Rock Canyon is jammed in the summer, Red Rock Coulee boulders are rife with rattlers in the summer months you have to be careful of them. I cannot believe you missed the Royal Tyrell Museum. World famous Dinosaur museum.

Just an update on Rattlesnakes in A'isinai'pi/ Writing-on-Stone. I have seen some in the park but more often on the south side of the Milk River in the Coulees. There used to be signs on the local roads warning drivers about Rattlesnakes and asking not to run over them. Sadly, this past June I found one just outside the park that had its tail and rattle crushed by some car or truck. If it was inside the park, the staff would have done something for the poor thing. As it was...

Well done! I would correct you on a couple of references in your Kananaskis section: 1) HighWOOD Pass - not HighLAND - is the correct name for that part of Highway 40 that traverses the highest paved roadway in Canada. Also, not sure what you're referencing when describing HighLAND Trail. Maybe HighWOOD Meadows Trail w/ Boardwalk? All these Day Use areas are busy during peak season and there has been considerable construction adding more parking spaces. 2) Upper and Lower Lakes are Day Use areas within Peter Lougheed Provincial Park - not parks unto their own. 3) Kananaskis Country (KC) is not a 'Park'. It's a multi-use area that hosts a number of Provincial Parks, Wildland Parks, Natural Areas, Logging and Gas venues, Off-road venues, Hunting, an Olympic Downhill venue and a World-Class Golf Course. I believe this is called symantics but it's an important distinction where conservation is concerned. Some people don't understand the distinction but it's akin to the differences between the differences of Banff National Park and the industries and venues in the Town of Banff and other industries located within the park boundries. Thank You.
