East into the Alberta Badlands, Drumheller is home to the Royal Tyrrell Museum and the hoodoo formations along the Red Deer River valley — close enough for an easy day trip from Calgary.
Why people book this route
The shortest of PrimeKar's regional routes, which makes a day trip to the museum or the badlands a realistic same-day round trip.
How it's usually booked
A direct one-way transfer is the point-to-point structure. Same-day return trips are realistic given the shorter drive, so tell us your plans and we'll arrange it.
Drumheller to Calgary, including drops at YYC, books the same way as the trip out.
Along the way
Highway 9 runs northeast from Calgary across open prairie before descending into the Red Deer River valley, where the landscape changes abruptly into badlands terrain.
Good to know
The final descent into the Drumheller valley is a notable grade, and road conditions there can differ from the open prairie on the rest of the drive, particularly in winter.
Runs year-round, conditions permitting. Winter trips use winter-rated tires.
