The grade you are worried about is probably the one just out of Radium Hot Springs up and over the pass into the Kootenay valley in Kootenay National Park. Yes - firly steep but easily doable - lots of passing lanes and not really too steep. Thousands of folks do it every week. I personally have been over it many times, Should be no problem for you in your setup.
However if you really don't want to try it ( and miss some of the best scenery/wildlife viewing) you can stay north of Radium on 95 to the Transcanada at Golden and then head east to Banff etc. But then you have to cross the Great Divide on Kicking Horse Pass out of Field. Your choice but eirthe one is completely doable!!
