Cheltenham Badlands, Geological formation in Caledon, Canada.
The Cheltenham Badlands feature deep red-colored sedimentary rocks and erosion patterns across 36 hectares of exposed Queenston shale formations.
The land transformed from fertile ground to barren terrain between 1850 and 1950 due to intensive farming and tree removal by European settlers.
The Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation used this territory for hunting, fishing, and establishing small agricultural communities before European settlement.
Visitors must reserve parking through ParkPass system to access the site, which operates from May through November with specific dawn-to-dusk hours.
The formations contain 450-million-year-old Queenston shale deposits from an ancient seabed, displaying alternating bands of red and green mineral patterns.
