Stick With It is a hiking experience company that places custom hiking sticks at trailheads.
As you hike, you can collect unique stamps along the route—each representing a checkpoint, challenge, or memory. The stick becomes a personal record of your journey. Along the way, you also learn essential mountain skills like rope tying, making the adventure both meaningful and educational.

Key Insight
Best for hikers to be engaged and for safety. We discovered three core interests: hiking sticks for support, rope tying for essential skills, and stamp collecting for memorable keepsakes.
Starting point…
Before you hit the trail, choose the route that matches your skill level and claim the color-coded hiking stick that will carry your memories and your stamps.
Blue indicates an easy trail, yellow indicates a moderate trail, and orange indicates a difficult trail.
Choose your route responsibly based on your skill level.
Each hiking stick has a colored rope indicating the trail difficulty.
We offer three types of hiking sticks: an adult-sized stick, a kids stick, and a handheld stick exclusively for collecting stamps.
Stamp check point…
Earn stamps at designated checkpoints as you hike:
2 stamps on the Blue trail, 3 on the Yellow, and 4 on the challenging Orange route.
Rope check point…
Master essential knot-tying techniques tailored to your skill level at interactive stations found along each path.
