The Jasper National Park hosting abundant wildlife also acts as a natural guard for the Columbia Icefield. With a consistent population of 5,000-some residents, the community is particular about environmental sustainability. Unlike the nearby self-governing Banff within its own Banff National Park, the town of Jasper is administered by the national park authorities. The town site of Jasper in the Athabasca River valley is a divisional point on the Canadian National Railway, strategically situated at the junction of the Yellowhead Highway and the Icefields Parkway. The Jasper-Yellowhead Museum and Archives and the Jasper Visitor Centre are within Jasper's town site. The Jasper Skytram that connects to the Whistlers' summit, the Marmot Basin ski resort, and the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, are set outside of the town. Jasper also has a Sister City of similar townscape since July 4, 1972, Hakone, in the Kanagawa province of Japan.
Jasper Airport is 13.3 km or 8.3 miles north of the town. Served by Via Rail with two passenger services, the Canadian, and the Jasper - Prince Rupert, they depart three times per week each, from the Jasper railway station.
