What brings you to Drumheller? (Melissa) We’re doing a road trip. Our son has a condition with his eyes that will mean he will eventually be blind. We wanted him so see as much as possible before that happened.
Where have you been so far in this road trip? (David) We’ve seen Banff, Lake Louise, the icefields, and West Edmonton Mall.
Where to next on the road trip? (David) We’re off to Regina next. (Melissa) We’re heading to PEI and then Philadelphia.
What do you think of Drumheller so far? (Melissa) It’s awesome. The T. rex is amazing, who knew you had them here at one point!
If someone from Drumheller was heading to Whistler, what should they see? (Melissa) Ski. (David) It depends how adventurous they are. There’s bungie jumping and zip lines, but for hiking you have to do at least peak to peak. For biking, pick a mountain. (Melissa) There’s bear watching in Callahan. Skiing and snowshoing there is amazing.
Would you come back? (Melissa) Oh yeah, for sure!
