Road Trip to Jasper: Detour Through Alberta’s Historic Coal Towns

If you’re heading west on a road trip to Jasper, or live in central Alberta, and would love a unique day trip, all you need to do is head south of Highway 16. When heading west from Edmonton, you can hook a left/south turn on Highway 47, a short way after Edson. The road, which eventually turns into Highway 40, and which meets with the TransCanada again at Hinton, is a detour through Alberta’s Historic Coal Branch.
