The Crossing Resort🏠⛽

I stop here quite a lot. Usually while I’m doing a big Icefields day in the area. It’s right at the Saskatchewan River Crossing, and the only place between Lake Louise & Jasper where you can refuel on gas. There are also a bunch of sights around the area too, so it's a good spot to rest up and just be a tourist in the area.

Grab snacks, and maybe get a cozy sleep for the night instead of tenting it. Definitely a good spot to reset on road trips between Banff and Jasper if you are not one for driving all day long.

✅ 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.
