However, participants should be aware that much of the hiking in Dinosaur Park is over steep and rugged terrain and is therefore limited to those in very good physical condition. Breakfasts and suppers are substantial and varied. To take advantage of cool mornings the field day begins early with a hearty breakfast and finishes most days by mid-afternoon. Rainy days are often spent preparing fossils in the field station laboratory or with a trip to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller.
