Is this a good gift for an older hiker?

It was written for them: it celebrates still getting out there while poking fun at the downhill parts.

Does it match Mostly Here for the Trail Mix?

They share a similar retro sunset and mountain scene, so they pair well for two hiking partners.

Is the design on both sides of the mug?

Yes. The design is printed on both sides, so it faces out whether the mug is held in the left hand or the right.

About this design

The mountains are still calling. The knees have started sending those calls to voicemail. Here's one for hikers who still love the trail but now pack trekking poles and ibuprofen.

A big retro striped sun in gold, orange and red glows behind teal mountains, a snowy peak and tall dark pines. “MOUNTAINS CALLING” sits across the top in airy cream capitals, and the reply comes underneath in heavy retro italic letters: “KNEES DECLINING.” It looks like a vintage national park souvenir.

Make it the morning-after coffee mug, sipped slowly with both legs propped up.

Who it's for

It suits hikers over forty, a dad who still insists on the long route, or a retiree working through the national parks. Give it for a 50th birthday, Father's Day, or after a big hiking trip.

About the mug

11 oz glossy ceramic mug with the design printed on both sides, so it shows whichever hand holds it. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

Care

Top-rack dishwasher safe. Hand washing keeps the print bright the longest.
