Touring Our New Home Area

 Today was a sunny and warm day, so we decided to go exploring. By that I mean go for a drive and find somewhere we had not been before. 

 

Sunrise
Sunrise in Brooks AB.

Brooks to Duchess then to Dinosaur PP

 
The route took us North of town to another small town called Duchess. Looking it up on google, it said the population was 1045 with a mean age of 35 years of age. 
Duchess Recreation Facilities

The town of Duchess dated back to 1925. 

 

Rec Centre

It has a new community recreation centre that looks very impressive.

 

Many religious buildings in town.


1964 Chrysler park on the street in Duchess. 

After a look around town, we headed East to the provincial park of Dinosaur Park. We had never been there so we didn't know what to expect.

 

Dinosaur Provincial Park

The road to it was not a direct route. A couple of turns left and right we came to the park.

 

 It was set up for walkers through out with many paths and trails, no bikes.

 

We took a 3KM loop which aloud us to see some Hoodoos up close. It was a perfect day as the sky was a deep blue with whisky clouds.

 

All and all a very good Sunday tour.     

 

So until next time remember "Discover It and Live It".
