trail greetings?

No.1181444 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
When you're /out/ on the trail do you greet fellow hikers? Is greeting others on the trail a thing of the past?

My last hike (pct) I noticed that lots of people were not into saying a basic "hello" while on the trail. I was taught to greet fellow hikers or at the least share a glancing smile. Most of the hikers we encountered seemed self absorbed barely smiling or nodding with our group of 4.
It was a bit disheartening. What are your thoughts on greeting fellow hikers while on the trail?
