not really an entrance fee but rather a stopping fee. for instance, I don't have to pay it when I go back to Alberta to see my family as I just drive through and not stopping while I am in the park. but even if you stop for gas you are supposed to have pai for one. I buy an annual pass every year as I am up there camping a lot, where I live is 4 hours from Jasper and 5 hours from Banff, so the family pass saves me a lot of money. Usually we do a lait September / October trip to Banff for a night or two, then some place like Mosquito creek for 4 days then up to jasper for a couple of nights then home I don't mind the cooler weather, just crank up the campfire a bit more... as long as the wind isn't ignorant ;)
I doubt the OPS intent was to cross into Canada and bee line it to North of jasper in a day without stopping. So while it is allowed to pass thru without paying the entrance fee if you don't stop... its not relevant to the discussion.
nope because you cant get onto the icefield parkway with out paying. that's the one road that is pay even if you were to drive strait through.
