You can encounter check-stops where they will be checking for your park pass. If you are not able to present your pass, you’ll be asked to pull over and buy a pass. We’ve seen these check-stops at several places around Banff National Park, but most often at Lake Louise and Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive near Cascade Ponds entrance. We’ve also seen vehicles checked quite frequently at Sunshine Village during the ski season. Vehicles without a valid Banff Park Pass on display are given warning tickets and requested to purchase a pass.
