Overview

The Crossing Resort is the only accommodation, fuel, and food stop at Saskatchewan River Crossing on the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93 North), roughly midway between Lake Louise and Jasper. This essential roadside complex offers basic but clean hotel rooms, a cafeteria-style restaurant, gift shop, and gas station. Open seasonally from approximately May through November, it's a necessary stop for Parkway road-trippers โ€” the nearest alternatives are 80 kilometres in either direction. The setting is dramatic, surrounded by towering peaks at the confluence of the North Saskatchewan and Howse Rivers. Don't expect luxury, but appreciate the incredible mountain scenery and the logistical lifeline this place provides.
