natural area in alberta

This area contains large red spherical sandstone concretions that have eroded out of the softer bedrock, the best example of spheroid rock formations in Alberta. Concretions measure up to 2.5 metres across and are believed to be among the largest in the world.

There are eroded steep-sided coulees and a small upland of fescue-needle grass. In places, hoodoos (columns of bedrock) have formed.
