Atlas Coal Mine

Went to the Drumheller Hoo Doos. Fairly unimpressive.. but free..


Then down the road to the Atlas Coal Mine. It was the last operating coal mine in the Red Deer River Valley around Drumheller. Closed its doors in 1979. At one time in the 30-40s there were 139 mines. Last "tipple" standing in western Canada. Took the tours, learnt alot.











Then a ride around the Dinosaur Trail Loop and over the Bleriot cable ferry and back to a suspension bridge.
