A gift for a dad who loves hiking
A poster of the hike he is proudest of, with the route, the date and photos from the day.
A lot of dads say they do not need anything. A poster of the hike he still tells stories about, maybe one you did together, is something most of them are glad to get. With the date and a couple of photos from the trail, it becomes his own.

Who it suits
It suits a dad who heads for the mountains every summer, has a loop he walks every weekend or has ridden a big race. If he hikes with a watch, the trip is probably saved as a GPX file in Garmin Connect or Strava. Giving it from the kids? Put their names in the date line.

Questions and answers
How do I get his route without him noticing?
If you hiked it together, use the GPX file from your own watch or phone. You can also start from one of the famous trails here, or give a gift card so he makes the poster himself.
Can the kids' names go on the poster?
Yes. You write the title and the date line yourself, so it can say something like "For Dad, from Emma and Jack".

A digital poster to download is $15. A printed poster is $39 in A4 and $55 in A3. A framed poster is $79 in A4, $109 in A3 and $149 in 50 x 70 cm. Prices are in US dollars, and shipping is free.
