The ice field restaurant is actually not bad ..  chinese food, somehow better then Calgary!  LOL  (but expensive compare to Van or HK)

Steak is actually not too bad .. ~ $30 ..  same as most place.

The "road fee" is very little ..  like $15 .. something like that .. ( I got yr pass, so not sure now)

Speed limit part .. is same as BC mountain anyway .. however, ALBERTA RCMP is not the same as BC, they are so so so CHEAP!  (Alberta RCMP issue more tickets then anywhere in NA.)

Gas station part is weird ... as most small town or out of area gas price is higher, but not that much higher, may be 10 cent, but in general, gas price is cheaper in Alberta then B.C.


No cell phone and no radio is pain in the butts ..  if you are with Telus, slightly better ...

LOL   

No worry, piece of cake, and straight forward, only thing you need to worry is WEATHER ..

Again, it could be sunny and warm in Banff, but then snow like crazy in Peyto lake, then sunny in icefield ..

Even sunny when you ARRIVE icefield, but when you take those BIG WHEEL cart toward the inner part of ice field, could be SNOW/COLD.

Prepare PL and ND filter for your camera!!!!  ( CND is better )

If you're driving from Calgary towards Banff, there are toll booths on HWY 1 to pay the National Park fee.  You wouldn't miss them (the right-most lane is a pass thru lane if you already have the pass or not going to stay in the park).  For the fee, read this:

You probably only need CPL for the wide angle lens ( 18-55 )  and they are cheap ..  ( 52 mm )

CPL ... doesn't matter what brand ....
