Only open from May until October each year. Look for highway signage to say "open" before you go. Worst case scenario, you will have some great views and will have to turn around if the Ferry is not in operation.

Open year round. Get that nervous feeling of being on a suspension bridge above the Red Deer River. Good news, you aren't carrying mining equipment and subject to the safety rules of the 1930's.

Great views. Highly recommend for sunsets. Watch out for slippery sections if you plan to hike. Cycling enthusiasts will stop here for a rest after climbing out of the valley.

Tired of the same old mass-produced brew? Try Valley Brewing, Drumheller's local microbrew. Great taste that supports the local economy. Enjoy.

Groceries, Starbucks and florist. A bit pricier than Extra Foods, but great bread and a bit higher quality and better variety.
