HIKING GIFT GUIDE
10 Reasons Hikers Are Ditching Gift Cards For Scratch-Off Hiking Bucket Lists
“Best gift I've ever given a hiker. We've done 14 trails so far and it turned our same-loop weekends into summits we actually talk about.”

HIKING LIST
TLDR: A scratch-off Adventure Bucket List turns the hiker who's already got the gear into the person who can't stop talking about the next trail. Here's why.
It's 50 trails, not more gear
Most hiking gifts add to a pile of poles, socks, and gadgets. This one fills the trail calendar. You're giving 50 curated hikes: hidden waterfalls, ridge lines, local favorites they somehow never got to. Same backpack. New weekends.
It solves the "already hiked everything" problem
The hiker who already owns the boots, the pack, and the AllTrails pro. You can't out-gear them. But you can give them something they'd never buy themselves: 50 new trails in the place they already live.
Zero planning required (we did the year of research)
Every hiking list took months of scouting: iconic must-dos mixed with hidden trails most locals have never hiked. Scratch a card, scan the QR code for the trail details, and go. No more scrolling AllTrails for an hour on Saturday morning.
The scratch-off reveal beats picking a trail
There's a reason people film themselves scratching these. You don't pick the hike, the card does. It turns the which-trail debate into the most fun part of packing the car.
Icons take out the guesswork on every trail
Each card shows the season, effort, and duration at a glance, so you can pick an easy afternoon hike or a full-day summit before you scratch. No surprises you can't handle. Only trails you'll love.
How It Works
1. Choose An Area
Plan ahead by picking an area you are visiting soon, or be spontaneous and grab a card once you've arrived in the area!
Mix & match 2+ and save up to 20%
One hiking list for them, a state list for the trip you're taking. Bundle any two or more bucket lists and save up to 20% with free shipping. The easiest way to turn one gift into a year of trail days.
Pick Their Hiking ListIt works for first hikers and peak-baggers
A first waterfall with the kids, a ridge walk for empty nesters, a challenge list for the hiker who's "done everything." Trails range from leisurely afternoons to full-day epics, so the list fits the hiker, not the other way around.
It keeps giving all year long
New socks last a season. A gift card gets spent on more gear. Fifty scratch-off hikes last a year of weekends, and every time they hit a new trail, they think of the person who sent them. That's a gift with compounding miles.
Gift with confidence: free 30-day exchanges
Grabbed Colorado when they just moved to Texas? No problem. Every list comes with free 30-day exchanges, so the gift is always right even when the guess isn't.
4,000+ five-star reviews don't lie
Over a million adventurers have used RIO bucket lists to get out and explore. The reviews say the same thing over and over: "I bought one as a hiking gift, then ordered another for us."
