Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada

I hadn’t set foot in Alberta’s badlands for a few years, so it was nice to drop in for a day trip yesterday. This was snapped during a hike in Dinosaur Provincial Park, just north of Bassano, Alberta.

Cowboy Trail, Alberta, Canada

Roadwork this past weekend caused me to be stationary as I was driving around Alberta’s countryside. If you’re going to get stuck in traffic jam, it might as well somewhere with rewarding scenery like this.
