Groups must have at least four people in their party or two people on horseback, and the group must be carrying bear spray. Dogs are prohibited in the area at this time.Two trails in the Upper Bryant Creek Valley — Og Pass Trail and Upper Assiniboine Pass — of Banff National Park, bordering Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, are closed due to grizzly bear activity.
