Holiday Giving: Gifts for People who Love the Trail

Spurwink Island Path

The best gifts aren’t found in stores. They’re found on the trail or in support of the trail.

You know them. The person who laces up their boots every weekend, rain or shine. Your dad who’s walked every section twice. Your friend who needed the trail this year more than ever.

What do you give someone whose happy place is a windswept path overlooking the Atlantic? 

This year, give them something that matters.


A Piece of Trail History

Our Silent Auction features vintage trailhead signs—retired from active service, weathered by coastal storms, never to be produced again. Give them the actual sign from their favorite trailhead. The one where they find peace. Where they proposed. Where their story began.

Auction ends: November 27th

Join us at Quidi Vidi Brewery on November  27th for a celebration of the Trail!


The Gift of Anywhere

Buy Flyaway Fundraiser Raffle tickets with the potential of giving a gift to anywhere WestJet flies.

You’re giving them a chance to win round-trip WestJet flights for two to anywhere they’ve dreamed of going. Iceland. Ireland. Vancouver. Anywhere.

Imagine their face when they open your gift of flight.


A Donation in Their Name

Some people don’t want things—they want impact. Make a donation to trail maintenance in their name or in memory of a loved one. We’ll send a beautiful acknowledgment card they can open. 

It’s not just a gift. It’s their values, honored.


The Gift of Membership

Give them (or yourself) an ECT membership. It’s a year of connection to the trail, exclusive updates, and the knowledge that they’re part of something bigger. Perfect for the person who belongs on the trail.

Memberships make meaningful gifts.


Trail Shop Treasures

Our Trail Shop has gifts they’ll actually use on their next hike. Quality products that support trail maintenance with every purchase.

Practical gifts that give back.


ECT Sponsorship in their Name

Take an ECT Sponsorship out in their name or in honor of a loved one. Their name will be recognized for supporting the trail they love on our website and at the trailhead. It’s a gift that lasts far beyond the Holidays.

Legacy gifts for people who matter.


Every gift option funds trail maintenance. Every gift supports the trail they love.

The trail has given them so much—peaceful mornings, challenging climbs, breathing room when life got hard. This Holiday season, give back to the trail while giving them something unforgettable.
