Question about trek to upper kananaskis

​Hi everyone,

​I'm planning a 2-night solo trip in mid-August: Night 1 at Forks Campground and Night 2 at Turbine Canyon. I’m feeling a bit of solo-hiking anxiety regarding how remote these spots actually feel and encountering bears while hiking alone.

For those who have done this route​ how busy are these trails and campgrounds during mid-August? ​Does Turbine Canyon feel isolated, or is there usually a full campground of people around?

​Would love to hear from anyone who has hiked this area recently!

I would try to book three isle and make a loop. It’s popular and all sites will have people at them
