There's nothing wrong with giving a standard Father's Day tie as a gift. But if you really want to make dad happy, plan some active time together with the family.

Hiking is a great option as June weather is perfect for it. Plus, a hike can be adjusted to work for any fitness level/family structure. Have little kids or is dad new to hiking? Pick an easy, well-groomed trail. If everyone is up for something more challenging, there are trails that will provide that in spades. Not only is hiking an excellent workout, it's an escape from the day-to-day grind, a chance to connect with family, and it does wonders for your stress level... all things dad would appreciate.

To find a hiking trail, you can check with your local parks and recreation office. You can also search an online database such as GORP's trail listing.

If you also want to give dad something wrapped with a bow, why not choose a gift that fits with the day's activity? There are plenty of hiking-themed gifts that will inspire dad to be active all year. A summer or year-long pass to area or state parks would be great, a Roll-a-Table is perfect for hiking or camping trips, and a water bottle or Camelbak hydration pack is always a good idea.
