How to get to Jasper from Los Angeles by plane or train???????? SkeenaTrain?

We're flying. Are there flights into Jasper, or do we have to take the
train from Edmonton?

Any hotel recommendations next to Edmonton and Jasper train stations.

We're taking the Skeena train-so any recs for Prince George or Prince
Rupert.

No - you'll have to fly into Edmonton or Calgary.

The Skeena Train departs from Jasper AB -
http://www.viarail.ca/trains/en_trai_roch_japr.html
details here

You need to get from Edmonton to Jasper -
http://www.viarail.ca/trains/en_trai...jasper_express
detalis by train here
other alternatives: bus - Greyhound - http://www.greyhound.ca/en/
about a four hour trip - no reservations required
A rental may also be a consideration for you - Edmonton to Jasper (4.5
hours driving time) is a very nice drive, for that matter, Edmonton to
Prince George is as well ((8 hours driving time - can be tricky in
winter) - consider drop-off charges though...

Accommodation overnight in Jasper - Several hotels close to train
station (Jasper is very small)... - Jasper is a busy tourist town -
book early

Accommodation in Edmonton - several hotels close to Train Station -
again, book early.
Ramada Inn is very close to train station -

Accommodation overninght in Prince George - several hotels near train
station
I don't know much about PG accommodations.

If flying into Edmonton, the international airport is 1/2 hour south
of the city - you will need to cab it. or take a Airporter Shuttle Bus
- they do drop off at several hotels in Edmonton

You may also want to consider train from Vancouver BC to Jasper AB -
info on ViaRail.ca site - it's a gorgeous trip if you can catch the
spectacular mountains by daylight.

You can fly Vancouver to Prince Rupert, if your budget can handle this
take the train from Prince Rupert to Jasper through the coast
mountains along the Skeena. This trip is very beautiful, even in the
winter (make sure is daylight hours at least as far as Smithers). For
a real adventure, take a bus to Victoria, then up Vancouver Island to
Port Hardy, BC Ferries route to Prince Rupert.

Prince Rupert's hotels worth staying at are the Anchor (close to the
ferry terminals - to/from Alaska and Port Hardy) and the Crest.
Prince Rupert is a worldy frontier city, with the commercial shipping,
logging and fishing industries influencing the services.

I don't know where the train runs, but driving the road alongside the
river was one of the most breath-taking rides of m'life. Don't blink!
