Every year my family and I do a road trip back to Canada to visit our family and friends in the province of Alberta. We fly in the winter, but drive in the summer, as not only is a road trip a lot less expensive, I believe my children shouldn’t grow up not having experienced being stuck in a car for many hours at a time. 😆
The trip east, then north, takes about 12 hours with a couple of EV charging stops along the way. As we drive from our home city of Renton, Washington, we drive east on the I90. Once we come over the pass, the terrain starts to change.
It switches from lush forests to flat plains where farming occurs. And along that route is an area that I can only describe as “the badlands”: little to no vegetation, dry, arid land that is starkly beautiful. Last summer I finally stopped on the way back home to fly my drone around the area to capture some of that beauty after two years of saying “You know, this would make a great drone video”.
It reminds me a great deal of Drumheller, Alberta, a badlands area and the site of many dinosaur fossil finds.
