The trail they carried home

A custom 3D topographic sculpture of the peak they bagged, the park they walked, or the section of trail that changed the trip. Built from a GPX file or a Strava activity — for the person you love, or for the day you want on the shelf.

Start their sculpture

What is a custom route map gift?

A custom route map gift is a 3D topographic sculpture of a real GPS track. For a hiker, that track might be a day hike, a summit, a stretch of a thru-hike, or a loop through a national park. Print My Routes reads a GPX from AllTrails, Garmin, Strava, or another GPS app and prints the terrain in PLA so the path and the elevation are physical.

It sits on a shelf as a sculpture of that walk. You can engrave a peak name, a date, or a short message, and add an optional wood base so it arrives display-ready and gift-worthy out of the box.

How ordering a hiker gift works

  1. Bring the hike. Upload a GPX from AllTrails, Garmin, Strava, Komoot, or another GPS app, paste a Strava activity link, or search a catalog trail by name.
  2. Preview the terrain. The designer renders the track as a 3D topographic model. Rotate it and confirm it is the right day before you order.
  3. Make it theirs. Choose size, color, and optional engraving. Add a wood base if you want it display-ready the moment they unwrap it.
  4. We print and ship. The sculpture is 3D printed in PLA, inspected, and shipped. Most orders ship within 7–14 business days. Free standard shipping on orders over $100.

Questions

What is a custom route map gift?

A custom route map gift is a 3D topographic sculpture of a real GPS track — a day hike, a summit, a thru-hike section, a backpacking trip, or a national park loop. Print My Routes builds it from a GPX file or Strava activity so the path and the elevation are theirs, then 3D prints it in PLA as a piece they can keep on a shelf.

How do I order a hike sculpture if I don't have their login?

Ask them for a GPX export from AllTrails, Garmin Connect, Strava, or another GPS app, or paste a public Strava activity link in the designer at printmyroutes.com/custom. You can also search a catalog trail by name. If you want them to pick the hike, send a digital gift card — it arrives by email.

Can I use an AllTrails, Garmin, or Strava hike?

Yes. The designer accepts GPX files from AllTrails, Garmin, Strava, Komoot, and most GPS apps. You can also connect a Strava account and import an activity without downloading a file.

Is this a good gift for a summit, a thru-hike, or a national park day?

Yes. It fits a peak they bagged, one section of a long trail, a backpacking trip, or a day hike they still describe. Use a catalog trail when you know the path. Use their own GPS track when the gift is a specific day on the mountain.

How long does a hiker gift take to arrive?

Most sculptures ship within 7–14 business days. Standard, express, and international windows are listed on the shipping page. Custom orders include a few days of route processing before printing. For Christmas planning dates, see the holiday gift page.

What does a route sculpture cost?

Most sculptures fall between $40 and $120, depending on size and options such as engraving or a wood base. The designer shows the price before checkout. Standard shipping is free on orders over $100.

Can I add the peak name or a date?

Yes. During design you can engrave a summit, a trail name, a date, or a short message on the base. A wood base is an optional upgrade that mounts the sculpture so it arrives ready to display.

Give them the mountain they walked

You already know which trail it is. Upload the file, preview the terrain, and put that day somewhere they can hold.
