Saskatchewan River Crossing, affectionately known as ‘The Crossing,’ sits at the confluence of the North Saskatchewan, Mistaya, and Siffleur Rivers in one of the most remote and spectacular settings on the Icefields Parkway. It marks the point where the highway crosses from the Bow River watershed to the Athabasca watershed — a truly significant geographical moment on the drive. The Crossing Resort serves as a welcome oasis for travellers, offering fuel, food, and accommodation far from the nearest town. The surrounding peaks and river braids create a wild, wide-open mountain landscape of incredible beauty. Wildlife, including elk and mountain goats, are frequently spotted in the area. A vital and scenic pit stop that feels wonderfully remote, The Crossing is a highlight of the Parkway experience.
