Garibaldi Provincial Park, BC, Canada, July 2013

We had noticed in numerous settings that Canadian people are very polite. It was on this hike that we realized that even Canadian teenagers are polite. Other places we have hiked teenagers go past us talking loudly to each other. It seems that grey-haired people are either invisible or considered with disdain for being so slow. However, on this hike more than one set of teenagers smiled and greeted us warmly.
