Sábado retrasado decidimos fazer um pequeno passeio pelas redondezas e aproveitar o lindo dia.
Saturday before last we decided to have a quick trip to somewhere outdoors and near Calgary. The weather was great and we had already set up a dinner for the evening.
O Quico pesquisou na internet e encontrou esses canions perto de Calgary: Horseshoe e Horsethief, que ficam nas proximidades de uma cidade chamada Drumheller, há 110 km de Calgary. Esta região é rica de fósseis sendo que muitos dos fósseis da era dos dinossauros foram encontrados ali. Dentre estes está o Albertosaurus sarcophagus que foi um grande carnívoro de porte comparado ao do T. Rex.
Quico searched in the web and found two Canyons: Horseshoe and Horsethief in Drumheller town located 110 Km northeast of Calgary. In this area were found the most significant fossils from the Age of Reptiles. It is also very rich in fossils with more than 35 species of dinosaurs, including the Albertosaurus sarcophagus, and dating back more than 70 million years.
O primeiro canion que visitamos foi o Horseshoe (que tem esse nome por causa do formato que se assemelha a uma ferradura). O canion não é tão grande e por isso é fácil caminhar "dentro" dele. O terreno é incrivelmente bonito com suas várias camadas e "desenhos" formados pela erosão das águas e vento.
The first one we visited was the Horseshoe Canyon (the name comes from its horseshoe shape). The Canyon is not that big and we can walk in there. The terrain is incredibly beautiful with many shapes and layers from the extensively erosion by wind and water.

O segundo canion que visitamos foi o Horsethief. Este canion é tão grande que a cidade de Drumheller fica "dentro" dele. Dizem que o canion tem esse nome (Ladrão de Cavalos) por que antigamente os ladrões de cavalos levavam os cavalos roubados para o canion para depois revendê-los com outro nome.
The second one we had a look was the Horsethief Canyon . This one is very huge and the city of Drumheller is located inside the canyon. People say that the Canyon got this name because it was used by horse thieves, in the settler years, to hide stolen horses and then, later sell them with a different brand.
