U.S. Park Pass

The greatest gift to give outdoorsy people – if they don't already have one – is a national parks pass. It will grant them access to thousands of breathtaking locations like Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and Arches. Considering entry fees can rack up quick (especially if you visit multiple national parks throughout the year), this $80 pass is a big buck-saver.

Camelbak Fourteener Hydration Hiking Pack

Outdoorsy people will definitely appreciate the greatness of a Camelbak hydration pack when you gift one to them. This design in particular is optimized for the longer hike-lover, since it has multiple panels and pouches. Plus, the bladder inside holds 100 whole fluid ounces to last them all day long.

Snag an extra replacement filterfor gifting convenience.

Each of these parks-inspired candles taps into the natural scents of their locations – think pine needles, cedarwood, and sage. The vintage-y label will look stunning on their cozy bedside or wooden coffee table.
