The Jasper Visitor Information Centre (VIC) is one of my favourite mountain parks buildings. I really like the rustic log and stone architecture. Built in 1914, this was the first major building in Jasper. It also defined what would become Jasper's architectural style.

This is a great first stop when visiting Jasper. Here you can find information on front and backcountry camping, hiking trails, the best paddling spots, skiing, events, and even where to see wildlife. The Jasper VIC has all the maps and permits needed for any outdoor adventure in the park.
During the summer, the park space out front is a nice place to relax and read a book or to have a picnic.

Tourism Jasper and The Friends of Jasper Gift Shop are also located in the building.
