Alberta's Badlands

Alberta’s Badlands are a striking region in southeastern Alberta characterized by rugged, eroded landscapes with deep canyons, hoodoo formations, and layered sedimentary rocks. Formed over millions of years through erosion by water and wind, these badlands reveal a rich fossil history, including ancient mammals and dinosaurs. The area's striking appearance is shaped by the soft shale and sandstone, creating unique geological features. Known for their scenic beauty and scientific significance, Alberta’s Badlands attract visitors and researchers interested in geology, paleontology, and natural history.
