Interpretive
signs at Drumheller overlook |
Drumheller Overlook:
A great place to view the geologic evolution of the Refuge,
specifically the eroded canyons and isolated cliffs caused by the
glacial floods is from the Drumheller interpretive site. This site
was created in 1986 when the Drumheller Channels were designated
as National Natural Landmark. This designation nationally recognizes
the geological significance of the Drumheller Channels on and around
the Refuge. The auto tour map notes the location of the Drumheller
viewpoint. This is also the start of a short trail that leads to
the overlook where there are interpretive signs.

of marsh unit 1 |
Marsh Unit 1: The marsh units on the Refuge
are developed marshes that attract lots of wildlife. Many species
of birds find the areas ideal for resting, feeding or nesting.
Parking for the overlook of Marsh Unit one is noted on the auto
tour map by the binocular symbol.
