Red Rock Canyon
Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada
 |
The 16 kilometer (10 miles) drive
to Red Rock Canyon abounds with colorful
roadside wildflowers and views of hanging
valleys, alpine meadows, and jagged mountain
peaks. Arriving at the Canyon, many visitors
remark on the striking colors of the bedrock
layers. The layers of red and green colored
minerals offer a brilliant contrast to each
other and the lush surroundings. Short
self-guided hikes explain some of the ancient
history of mountainous native civilizations,
as well as the unique formation of Red Rock
Canyon. |
