Our story
The Beginning of Hiker Medals
After finishing the John Muir Trail in 2016, I wanted something worthy of the 211-mile journey—something I could hold onto long after the hike was over.
When I couldn't find it, I designed it myself.
That first medal became Hiker Medals: handcrafted keepsakes inspired by the world's most iconic trails, created to celebrate the adventures you'll remember for a lifetime.
