Brooks[1][2] is a small town in Southern Alberta, Canada. It's a good jumping-off point for Dinosaur Provincial Park (see below).

[edit] Get in

Brooks is located on the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). The easiest way to get in is by car along this highway. It is 188km (about 2 hours by car) east of Calgary.

[edit] Get around

You will need a car to get around. Highway 876 lies north-east of town, running north from Highway 1 to Patricial. Avoid it, due to heavy truck traffic.

[edit] Get out

• The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, 141km to the northwest, has excellent fossil exhibits including dinosaurs, and is a good companion to Dinosaur Provincial Park. It's a two-hour drive between them, so allow 3 days or more to see them both.
• There is similar Badlands countryside to the south, in the United States.
