The best of Travelling with Dan, chosen by its host

I also agree if I could do a list of six for Alberta. I just couldn’t narrow it down any further. And they aren’t in any order.

This is from when I went to find some dinosaurs. Dan Reynish/CHAT News

And here they are, although if you ask me to list them again tomorrow, they might change.

Thank you very much for travelling with me!! See you on the road again in 2025!!

All across Alberta, the United States and even Ireland!!
