What routes in the Canadian Rockies have minimum group sizes (and where can I find about those)?
I like to be alone in the wild. I know it's not the wisest thing to do, but I do it anyway (and I'm not the only one).
Today I learned that some routes in Canadian national parks may enforce minimum group sizes. What routes in the Canadian Rockies enforce minimum group sizes, and where can I find information on those? I didn't find anything on the Jasper National Park website.

I can't speak for Jasper National Park, although you'll want to check out this page on warnings and closures regularly, but for Banff National Park the two areas that are commonly restricted to group access are Moraine Lake/Larch Valley/Sentinel Pass/Mt. Temple/Paradise Valley area (groups of 4 minimum, from mid-July to early October) and the Minnewanka/Mt. Aylmer area from mid-July to mid-September. Again, Banff has their own page that lists restrictions and closures.
