Thanks Little Kopit! It's seems Drumheller is gathering more and more points to be visited.
Our time for the trip is 2 weeks one way so I guess it will be fine.
Regarding parking sleeping I was also thinking about truck stops or Walmart / Tim Hortons or where we can park within the villages. But this is mostly if we drive till late and we really need only to stop and have some sleep. We will definitely visit some campgrounds so the kids can play and maybe we can enjoy few days near some lake/pool :)
I was thinking about our daily driving schedule and I see it like this (in ideal conditions which never happen but still we must always hope for the best :)):
6:00 am - little one wakes up so we start driving while he is feeding
10:00 am - all kids are fully awake and already had a breakfast or two and we need a stop for 2 hours so they can play at some playground on the way at some village
12:00 - driving till they eat and sleep
4:00pm playtime / or arriving at campground
7:00 - kids eating and we driving if we are not at campground - and in this case we can drive till late at night. So my question is - is now the season for some wild life coming on the road... I really want to avoid that, but also this will be the best time to drive with the kids having their night sleep...
Also, what precautions can we take for such cases - I have heard of moose whistles...?!? sounds funny to me but maybe it is mostly because of my lack of knowledge what may happen during summer season.
By the way - due to work our trip is postponed for beginning of July :(
