We do not wear masks, but "crowded" here is seeing maybe 4 other families or couples in the space of a 1-2 hour walk and having to pass directly by 1 or 2 of those groups (holding my breath). So even though the trail can be narrow in places, it's a measured (I feel reasonable) risk. The exposure there is far less than in a grocery store.
