Canada
Fancy a walk or a bike ride? The pathway around Glenmore Reservoir is 14 km long and leads you through gorgeous forests as you skirt around the reservoir. You actually leave the city limits. If you ride a bike, wear a helmet or risk a fine or, even worse, dirty looks from everyman and his dog.
Start at Heritage Park.
The eerie formations known as Hoo Doos (or Hoodoos) are found in North American badlands, formed by wind and water erosion of sedimentary rocks. Looking like petrified mushrooms, they have a protective rock cap which shelters their shaft, detering them from disintergrating at the same speed as the surrounding sandstone.
In the Drumheller area you can follow a special 25 km (15 mile) Hoodoo Drive Trail to where you can visit them along highway 10, 18 km southeast of town.
The hoodoos look like they are from a Star Wars setting. Best of all it's free!!! to visit
You can get information at the tourist office under the 90-foot Tyrannosaurus rex (world's largest dinosaur statue) in the centre of town.
Drumheller is 1.5 hours north east of Calgary.
