Hiking Stick Medallions

Let's spell out exactly what hiking stick medallions are.

Hiking stick = hiking pole = walking stick = hiking staff = well, you get the idea!

A hiking stick acts as a worthy trail companion.

It's there when you need to cross a creek on a narrow log.

It takes strain off your knee joints going down hill.

It may help defend you from someone's misbehaving canine on the trail.

But wait! There's more!

And it's a cherished memento of wonderful trail time.

How?

Add a little piece of metal, stamped with a favorite park, monument, or trail. And there you have it!

These little beauties are fun on so many levels!

There's the "memory lane" angle. Every time you glance at the hiking stick, great hiking memories come rushing back.

And you can hang your hiking stick in a prominent location in your office or family room, reminding you all winter of your hiking adventures. Great conversation starter with guests, too.

Do you have a hiker in your life? I'll bet you're often stumped for unique hiking gift ideas. Consider a hiking stick, and a medallion to go with it, for the next birthday or holiday gift you purchase.

These are also great conversation starters out on the trail.

Say you're on a rest break, and another hiker passes by and spots your stick. You may meet a kindred spirit or a new trail buddy. (or possible romantic interest!)

Or perhaps that person has been longing to visit the place depicted on your medallion. Instant conversation!

I don't often recommend companies, but here's a gem: Hike America. Check out their long tradition of hiking stick medallions, as well as other hiking gifts (T shirts & posters).
