Jasper destination guide

West of Edmonton, Jasper is Banff's northern counterpart. The picturesque town site nestled, high in the Rocky Mountains, Jasper has less to offer to the tourists than Banff but the quieter streets, easier access by rail from Edmonton, Vancouver (Kamloops), and Prince George; and linked to Lake Louise and Banff by 'The World's Most Scenic Highway': the Icefields Parkway.

Wildlife can be found right in the town all year around. Excellent trails provide walks of different lengths and challenges through varied terrain and present opportunities to view some of Canada's most impressive views and wildlife.
