Jasper is in the Rocky Mountains in Canada.
Get in
Located in the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, Jasper is the shy cousin
to bold, brassy Banff. Approximately 2 hours north of Banff and 4.5 hours west
of Edmonton, capital of the province of Alberta. It can be reached by road or
train. Highway 16, the Yellowhead Highway, connects Jasper to Edmonton, which
has an international airport. Highway 93, the Ice fields Parkway, connects south
through the Rockies to Lake Louise and onto Banff. Drivers will have to pay for
a park admission pass as the town of Jasper is located within Jasper National
Park. There are bus connections from Edmonton, Banff and Vancouver.
Those driving to the park should be aware that a park fee of $7/adult per
night (max $14/carload per night) applies. Annual passes are available for $89.
