Travel Tips

I have been through Edson many times travelling between Edmonton and Jasper. Once my friend's truck broke down there.

My advice: avoid, avoid, avoid. It's a hole.

And I know this better than most people; I even published a tourism magazine for the area between Edmonton and Jasper.

Avoid, avoid, avoid.

It's one of those towns that you think of as being "a lovely little place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there". Drive another couple of hours west and you're in Jasper - now that's what I'm talkin' about!
It is not a very nice town at all if I were you I wouldn't even go there, go to Jasper
All I can remember is the squirrel:

my sons have played hockey against their team..they had a good hockey team. It's a nice town.
Edson is a little town just a few hours from the edge of the Rockies and is a perfect stop if you don't want to pay astronomical price for accomodation in Jasper.
It is a little town with many restaurants, motels and campgrounds. It is nice and quiet but I would not like to live there..
Been and stayed in Edson many times while visiting the Rockies
