About Shell Jasper

Right in the heart of Jasper’s townsite, Shell Jasper is the reliable refuel-and-reset stop. It’s open 24/7, so whether you’re rolling in after a long drive or heading out before sunrise, you can top up and grab supplies without detouring out of town.

Why stop

Heads up

Often congested around the pumps, especially midday
Fuel and snacks can be pricey compared to outside town

Fuel options in town are limited, and this location is central and easy to access. It’s a practical pit stop before you push deeper into the park’s long stretches with few services.
