You may be different.

Welp, let me try and remember my last hike....hmmm, oh yes, it was on Monday night, going down this ridiculous driveway with my very heavy garbage can.

De, I don't hike. And I think too much regardless of where I am. After being forced (at gunpoint) to go to Yellowstone, I never did get out of the car in Yosemite. 19 miles round-trip? omg, I would only walk that far if it was an extreme emergency. Nope, can't think of walking/hiking 19 miles.

===================

Unless you're walking with friends

I don't have friends that hike, either. We are all lazy!
======================

I don't care to talk much, hiking or not. But I don't hike, therefore I now can tawk all I want. I am just hanging out.

Soaking my swollen foot, which happened when I kicked a box because I couldn't lift it!

Hope your projects are coming along.

My best to you son. Sophomore year - it's almost time to declare a major!

Take care...

Re: “do you talk to a lot of people on the those trails, or are you just absorbed in your thoughts?”

My experience with long hikes comes from the 19 mile round-trip hike from Yosemite Valley to the top of Half Dome. I can tell you that there isn't usually a lot of talking going on except at specific vista points. Unless you're walking with friends, nearly all of the people you'll encounter on these hikes are headed the opposite direction. Therefore you'll only see them briefly and a quick nod or "hello" is about all you'll manage.

Even when I'm hiking in a group, I don't tend to talk. My mouth is usually dry, I'm out of breath (assuming that it's a hard hike) and I'm focusing on taking that next step. Do joggers do a lot of chatting? I don't think so. Same for hikers. You may be different.
