6. Dunvegan Bridge
Holding the record for Alberta’s longest suspension bridge, Dunvegan Bridge was built in 1960 and is a little gateway back into that era of Canadiana. The bridge offers a majestic photo op year-round, and can be found by driving north past Rycroft towards Fairview.

8. Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum
If dramatic architectural backgrounds are your thing, look no further. The Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum was designed to resemble the skeleton of a giant reptile – fitting, as it sits on top of one of the world’s densest fossil sites, the River of Death bone bed at Pipestone Creek.
