Orkney Viewpoint
A high lookout on the edge of the Red Deer River Valley, overlooking the winding river and the badlands on both sides.
The Orkney Viewpoint is on the North Dinosaur Trail near the Bleriot Ferry. Standing on a grassland plateau at the valley's edge, you get a panoramic view of the Red Deer River winding through the badlands. It's a popular sunset spot. Admission is free and parking is convenient, but there are no railings at the edge, so take care. You can head downhill to catch the ferry across the river.
