What American holidays fall during normal thru-hiking season? Also, to what degree are things closed on these holidays.
For example in Canada:
Civic Holiday - everyone gets a day off work; only stores open are small convenience type stores
Easter Monday - only government workers and school children get the day off, everyone else goes to work, and private industry operates as normal.
Remembrance Day - Day runs as usual except for two minutes of silence at 11.
Last weekend was Memorial Day and I just realized that I have no idea what that holiday is for or what it means in terms of government and business closure. I was also curious if you have any other holidays that us Canadians don't have or vice versa.
