Prairies and DINOSAURS! | We made it to Alberta | Road trip across Canada | VAN LIFE

We woke up at Walmart, again, in Regina. So not a pretty place. Hopefully we wake up somewhere really pretty. But we were desperate to find a spot and there's a bathroom there, we wanted to hit the road. Our goal today is to make it to Dinosaur Park because we've been told by some people that it's really awesome. And we're sort of making up our plans still as we go because things are changing. Let's see where today goes. Keith got the parts. I did it. I didn't fix it yet, but I got the parts. I got us coffees. We have about a three and a half hour drive still to Dinosaur Park. We've switched roles, as you can see. And it is raining for the first time since literally we started this trip a week ago. So we thought we'd fill you in on the drizzling rain. Look at this place! I've been looking forward to pulling over somewhere in the prairies, Saskatchewan or Alberta. But this, this is it. I'm so happy we did this. Look how empty this place is. It's just so magnificent. Rolling hills and meadows. We're just on the border of Saskatchewan and Alberta and I saw my first prairie dog. So here's some epic drone footage we didn't know. Do you want to film us? We're at Dinosaur Park. We just went through the entrance. And it looks like a whole different world and feels like a whole different world. Yeah, so right now we're just sitting on top and then it drops down into the valley. So we're going to go to the visitor center right after, but we first want to go check out the view. The rock layers tell a story of what this region looked like 75 million years ago. A wide coastal plain with a warm, moist climate that was often influenced by the nearby Bear Paw Sea. Rivers, wetlands, meadows and forests offer different habitats that support an amazing diversity of life. We're going to go to the visitor center now because we've heard there's like a cute little museum. And check that out and try and learn some more things. We're ready to find some dinosaur bones. We look like excavators, don't we? Archaeologists. We're explorers. We have our hats because it is very hot. It is hot, humid and sunny here in Dinosaur Provincial Park. So cool. I feel like we're literally on another planet in the desert. This is awesome. It's fascinating. So we have to go to the visitor center this way. Oh, that was close. There might be a museum. What? I think that's the visitor center. What a hike. Glad we made it. The museum was great and now we're off for a hike. Yeah, I can't get over the fact that it's a heritage site. He told me to hug the tree. I learned it's over 200 years old. And there's only a few of them left in this area because they're being overtaken by little thorn bushes and blueberry bushes. But yeah, there's another one apparently down the trail. But look at how big this is. This is incredible. And its roots all the way reach the river. We learned at the museum this is made mainly of mudstone, sandstone and ironstone. And I think the sandstone mainly, mudstone is why it sort of just falls apart if you rub it. And that's why the hoodoos and everything has eroded over time. I just want to say this place is incredible. We're also totally here alone. Like I feel like we're on another planet or we're in Star Wars or something. But you can literally just walk anywhere and there's this incredible landscape around us. And I'm just mind blown. Devon said it. It's just amazing. These formations I can't get over. How it's made with these little crevices, these little fissures. Made with a little bit of water. The valleys and creeks made with rivers. Just the idea of how this is made and how it's still standing here. It's like sculpted by nature. This is incredible. We've said it before and I'm saying it again. Yeah, I know. Honestly, this landscape is phenomenal. It's so different from everything. Thank you Richard for this recommendation. He said you have to camp here out of all the places. So you know what we did tonight? We got a campsite which is very lucky of us again. Because we didn't book ahead of time but we actually had one. And so we're going to spend the night. So we'll be here tomorrow morning. So we'll show you our site tomorrow. But yeah, I think we've had a good day. Thanks for watching our video and we'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for watching.
