Paddling Through Alberta’s Badlands
17 Sep
We enjoyed THIS recent Ottawa Citizen story (with photos) about a moms-and-sons canoe trip down Alberta’s Red Deer River.
The Red Deer River, a tributary of the South Saskatchewan River, flows through southern Alberta’s badlands. The group of five paddlers — a guide, two moms, and two teenage boys — floated from near Stettler to Drumheller on their 70-mile, four-day trip.
As Sheile Pratt recounts in the story, the group saw weather extremes, but enjoyed the exotic scenery provided by the badlands through which the Red Deer flows.
