Probably one of the biggest takeaways from the experience was seeing how old some of the people were that were doing the hike. It makes you realize that if you want to live a long active life, you can.
The poutine was perfect lol

Very true. I'm Canadian but am currently living in France and its very common to see "older" people (people in their late 50's, 60's and 70's) going on long and challenging hikes. I'm in my late 30's and often we are among the youngest on the trails. It was surprising at first to see all of these "grandmas" on the trail but now I'm pretty used to it. Its no wonder that Europeans are stereotypically so healthy. They stay active much much later in life. It's inspired me to try and remain active for as long as possible in life.
It's inspiring to see! Looks like we have a ton of time for active living.
