Jasper town is a quaint little town in the rather enormous Jasper National Park. It's the center of all the commercial activity, & also the place from where you will begin your day & come back to at night, while visiting Jasper’s ubiquitous Natural wealth! The iconic Jasper Rail Station is a Heritage building located just across the downtown area, looks Ornamental but pretty functional by the way. Begin your tour of the downtown with a visit to the Historical Visitor’s information Center. Besides being informative, the center is housed a in an Old world Building whose Roof peaks mirror exquisitely the varied peaks of the surrounding mountains. The downtown is a pretty looking small town teeming with shops, bars & restaurants. Dinning options are umpteen, and I strongly recommend Famosa Neopolitan Pizzeria. ‘Long Queues’, ‘ingredients imported from Campania Italy’, ‘make your own pizza’, ‘Pizzas hand-tossed by experts’ and I guess I told you enough.
Brewster, the Official Travel Company, has an office located in town, & I do recommend booking time tickets for ‘Lake Maligne Cruise’ and ‘the Icefields Parkway Glacier adventure’, as many tourists encounter the regret of their life when booking last moment. The town offers accommodations to suit all budgets, but do remember that summers get sold out months in advance, in which case you may have to find options in Hinton, an hour outside of town!
