GUIDED HIKES AND TOURS
AT THE BADLANDS AMPHITHEATRE
It’s winter at the Badlands Amphitheatre, and it’s a great time to explore the Canadian Badlands with our outdoor guides. Moriah and Badger can build a custom outing for groups, and guided hikes are available all season.
Snow often settles across the hills, and fog can drift through the valleys. Our semi-arid landscape, shaped by desert-like terrain, makes winter here a little different from what most people expect.
If you’ve been curious about seeing the badlands in winter, come out for a hike or a tour and make some memories.
You can book one of our scheduled hikes and tours or email us and we can craft a unique experience for you or your group.
Backstage Tours: 30 – 45 minutes
Monday to Friday: 1: 30 PM
See behind the scenes of a working arts and culture theatre and Canada’s largest outdoor stage.
Three Valley Gap: 60 minutes. Explore the Corral Creek bed and discover the striking geology of the Drumheller Valley—bentonite clay walls, iron-rich rock, and black carboniferous deposits. This sheltered coulee ecosystem reveals a diverse range of plant and animal life adapted to each valley slope. The soft creekbed often holds fresh animal tracks and signs, offering a glimpse into the wildlife that travels this natural pathway through the hills.
Lookout Hill: 75 minutes. This steep ascent that rewards you with breathtaking views of Drumheller and the surrounding prairies. Whether you’re discovering unique ecosystems or conquering a steep climb, each hike offers a special way to connect with the Badlands’ natural beauty.
MEET YOUR GUIDES
Hello! My name is Moriah and I will be your adventure guide for the trails around the Badlands Amphitheatre. With 400 acres of land to hike and explore, I will be guiding you to see the grand views of the multicoloured hills and show you the micro-secrets of the Badlands’ ancient past. Hopefully we all learn something new!
Along with my trusty partner, Badger the Australian Shepherd, who knows what we will see or find.
Hi there! I’m Matt, your guide! I can’t wait to head out on our adventure together and see what insects, birds, and wildlife we will observe! Every excursion is a little bit different, whether we see prickly pears blooming, a particular stage of an insect’s life cycle, or fresh signs of one of our animal neighbours’ presence. Let’s see what’s out there!
