EARLY HISTORY
The history of the Drumheller Valley dates back over 70 million years. The land was flat and the climate tropical. This was the ideal surrounding for plants and animals and was home of the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs like the Albertasaurus, Archi-cera-torus, and Sty-ra-co-saurus roamed the region. Millions of years ago the dinosaurs became extinct, but the remains were covered with sediments of the rivers and in this way preserved. During the ice age the entire region was covered with ice - at its thinnest about 1000 meters thick.
