Red Deer River Valley Pano
Starland Recreation Area, AB
This area is one of the Badlands found in southern Alberta. Badlands are dramatic landforms characterized by a network of deep, narrow and winding gullies, along with occasional hoodoo rocks. Their steep, barren slopes provide striking evidence of the force of erosion by wind and water — a source of continual change in their terrain.
Badlands are found in several places in Canada, most notably in southern Alberta. While those of Writing-on-Stone archeological site have great spiritual significance to the Siksika (Blackfoot) people, European explorers found badlands unfamiliar and difficult to navigate, which is the source of their current name.
