The Crossing Café☕🌭

If you’re driving the Parkway and you feel like you need food asap, here you are! The Crossing Café is the casual food spot here, and it’s basically the lifeline between Lake Louise and Jasper. It's by no means 5 star food, but - you are in the middle of the Icefields lol. It’s just reliable road trip fuel in the middle of the mountains. It may be pricey, but again, there are not much options this deep in the mountains.

✅ TIPS FROM DEV, LINKS & SAFETY

• If you’re driving between Lake Louise & Jasper, this is definitely the most convenient refuel and snack stop on the whole route. I’d treat it like a checkpoint if you are doing the whole drive in one day. Top up the tank, grab some snacks & drinks if you need.
