Whenever you're dreaming of cosmopolitan cities, glistening lakes, and verdant mountain vales—that's the best time to visit Switzerland. If the mood strikes you to dip into Lake Geneva in the summertime, or cozy up in the winter for a dinner of raclette-covered everything, you need to go to Switzerland as soon as you can.

The years-long bureaucratic tangles that plagued passport renewals and first-time applications since the pandemic are finally over. Not only have US passport processing times bounced back to pre-pandemic rates—they're the shortest they've been in years.

From my first camping trip at four months old to my most recent hiking expedition in the Adirondacks, I've spent the majority of my life camping and hiking my way through the world—laying under the stars in a tent across 15+ US states and Canadian territories, exploring dozens of national and state parks, hiking up mountains and through forests, and otherwise enjoying (or being subjected to) every type of weather, terrain, and wildlife. Being the youngest member of an enthusiastically outdoorsy family means that I know a thing or two when it comes to picking out gifts for those that prefer to spend their time surrounded by nature. Whether you're looking for something practical, like a new pair of hiking socks or boots, or want to gift something a little more exciting, like a sleek, inspirational coffee table book or a Stanley pour-over set, these are some of the best camping gifts for hikers, campers, and backpackers right now.
