Glacier Nat Park of Canada, bears, and group hiking

There are some great trails in GNP of Canada -- but the website says that you need to hike in groups of four or more because of the bears. So my question is this -- is it hard to find other folks...

Groups are best, but a couple is OK as long as you follow precautions. Ask about bear activity before you set out; make a lot of noise; pay attention and scan ahead and to the sides. Take your pepper spray and use it if needed!
