MIDWEST CRAFTSMANSHIP YOU CAN FEEL

Every John Muir Trail hiking stick is handcrafted in the Midwest from sustainably sourced Appalachian poplar. Each piece of hardwood is individually prepared, precision laser engraved, sanded, and finished while preserving the natural grain and character of the wood.

Because every piece of real hardwood is different, variations in grain, markings, and tone ensure that no two finished walking sticks are exactly alike.

• Handcrafted in the Midwest

• Sustainably sourced Appalachian poplar

• Precision laser-engraved artwork

• Individually sanded and finished

• Natural wood grain gives every stick its own character
