Another hiker caught my wife and me cresting the top of a hill, then airdropped the photo to us. People on this trail tend to be either don’t-bother-me busy with their workout, or very social and ready to chat. Not that I’m either of those, exactly.

A tall man and short woman are silhouetted against the sky. There are some large trees overhead. Both people are using hiking poles. The man is wearing a brimmed hat.
