This year, I’ve noticed that many of us have become avid day hikers. With the lack of big international destinations to travel to, many of us have turned to hike in our local parks, forests, etc. Chris and I are lucky enough to have Cuyahoga Valley National Park nearby, where we’ve been hiking a lot this year.
We also did a couple of hiking trips to the Smoky Mountains and in Vermont. During all of this hiking this year, we’ve come across a lot of fantastic products that we love and would make the perfect gifts for the day hikers in your life! Whether they love the challenging trails up to mountain peaks or beautiful fall foliage day hikes, this podcast episode has all of the best gifts for day hikers!
