Traveling East on Hwy 56 from Drumheller for 6km, you enter the town of Rosedale, immediately after exiting the town turn right onto Hwy 10X South for 7km to Wayne. You will cross over 11 bridges before arriving in Wayne.

There is a memorial plaque at the site of the old cemetery on Excelsior Rd, across from the Last Chance Saloon. Due to flooding, the graves from the old site were re-interred above the old location in the canyon.

At the new site, this location, only 6-7 markers remain. The cemetery is abandoned and overgrown with an oil pipe nearby. In order to visit permission is needed from the farmer whose field must be crossed to reach the cemetery.
