Parks Canada Visitor Guide to Kootenay [2]

Note that, while there is no fee for driving through the park, a pass is needed if stopping within the park, even if for gas. Since Kootenay National Park is contiguous with Banff National Park, if driving north it's advised to check your fuel at the town to Radium as the next non-pass-required gas station is not until Canmore, approximately 160 km away. As there are no gas stations within the park, this is advisable in any event.
