This is an amazing landmark to visit if you are in the area. We spent about an hour walking around the area and then ate some ice cream before we headed back. I witnessed some visitors making their own dangerous paths climbing. It is most likely death or broken bones if anyone slipped and fell off the higher points. The view, itself, was worth the drive. I suggest spending anywhere 30 mins and up exploring the area. There were two ice cream stalls and one souvenir stall in the parking lot area.
Beautiful and amazing! This place is about an 1 1/2 hour from Calgary it's kinda a far drive. We were deciding whether or not to go here and does it worth it. And the verdict: you'll never regret! This place is beautiful! Requires no hiking at all! The parking is literally across the street for $2, can't beat that! And the view is 360 of the whole mountain/valley. The rock formation formed beautifully. I personally think the hoodoo looks like a giant King mushroom. Had I wear a better shoes I would go all the way up to the top. So, come and check it out for yourself. Definitely worth the drive!

I'm not sure if I can say I enjoyed my time there only because the weather was not great. It was muddy and things were slippery. It was the only day to go so I couldn't have experienced it on a better day. We were only able to walk up to the top of the steps and came back to the car. Some kids slipped and fell into the mud. So if you visit on a wet day prepare with a change of clothes. There is parking across that costs $2.50 which isn't terrible at all. The shops I think that are there, I think they open on nice days, were closed. The portable potties are not great but they're there to use! read more

The Hoodoos are definitely worth a quick visit if you're in the area. It is very unique and cool to see up close, especially with the hills in the background. It was a nice stop and made for some great photos, but it didn't quite blow me away compared to other nearby viewpoints. Still, it's a neat and iconic part of Drumheller history that's easy to access and explore. read more
This is one of the most visited places in Drumheller. Make time to check it out when you're in town. The long or short trip will be worth it. It may not compare to the Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah or the Goreme Valley in Cappadocia, Turkey but you will not regret the experience. The Hoodoos are beautiful and are very nice to use as a backdrop for photo ops. The rock formation and landscape alone are the highlight. I am sure the view will be spectacular during sunrise or sunset. This place is a 3 hour drive from Edmonton where my sister lives. We had a great time taking memorable photos and hiking up to the top. What a fantastic view!!! Make sure to wear good quality shoes when you're planning to hike. It is quiet challenging. But the top view is fabulous. It is a 360 view of the valley. read more

Definitely worth a stop. They had a couple of food trucks there too which I wish we had taken advantage of because everything else we had selected for lunch closer to town was closed. "Hoodoos" are what the formations are called. read more

I like easy hikes and good views and this place totally satisfied that. We saw a couple taking their wedding photos here too! We drove 1.5 hour to get here and we thought it didn't worth that drive at our first glance from the parking. However, as we were climbing up the rocks, we really enjoyed it. Lol it totally worth the drive. read more
