My #TrailRun in #DinosaurProvincialPark was next level! I tackled a 10km loop so I could wander through towering rock formations, spot desert plants clinging to life, and imagine the prehistoric world that once roamed here. Hot sun, dusty trails, endless views. 10/10 would recommend. #ExploreAlberta
