Excellent thanks for the detailed response. We'll be there last week in September first week in October. Hopefully it won't be too late for good foliage. I also just read that 4 person groups are required for certain areas due to bears?

I second the lake O’Hara area of yoho. Lots around there if you can camp up there for a few days. Trail restrictions do happen due to bear a activity sometimes. Ive seen the 4 person minimum at the hiking trails around moraine lake but not in Yoho.

What does a “4 person minimum” do when hiking?

I solo hike often enough. Its easy enough to budge up against another group of people, just let them know what you are doing and why.

Thanks for the tip thats reassuring. We're just doing day hikes so shouldn't be a problem with the amount of people on some of the trails.

Yes, that's right. Overnighting and keeping up with serious hikers on long trails is more of a problem.

Also, you're welcome.I hope you have a lot of fun when you come.
