For your hiking enthusiast granddaughter, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will surely make her Christmas extra special. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Hiking Gear: Encourage her passion for hiking by gifting her some essential hiking gear. A new backpack, hiking boots, sturdy water bottle, trekking poles, or a high-quality waterproof jacket can be great additions to her hiking equipment.

2. Outdoor Adventure Books: If your granddaughter enjoys reading, consider gifting her some inspiring books related to hiking and outdoor adventures. She might enjoy classics like "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed or "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. These books will not only entertain her but also ignite her imagination and fuel her love for hiking.

3. Trail Maps and Guides: Help her discover new trails by providing her with detailed trail maps and guides of local hiking spots or famous national parks. These will not only assist her in planning her hikes but also showcase your support for her outdoor adventures.

4. Hiking Journal: Encourage her to document her hiking experiences by gifting her a hiking journal. This way, she can record her favorite trails, memorable moments, and challenges she overcame while exploring the outdoors. Personalize the journal with her name or initials to make it even more special.

5. Outdoor Photography Equipment: If your granddaughter is into photography, consider gifting her some outdoor photography equipment like a durable camera or a versatile lens. This will allow her to capture the incredible landscapes she encounters during her hikes and create lasting memories.

6. Gift Certificate for Outdoor Adventure: Treat her to an unforgettable outdoor adventure by giving her a gift certificate for activities like hiking tours, rock climbing lessons, or a guided backpacking trip. This will not only provide her with thrilling experiences but also allow her to learn new skills and meet like-minded individuals.

7. Customized Hiking Apparel: Surprise her with customized hiking apparel. You can get her a personalized hiking t-shirt or a hoodie with her favorite hiking quote or a creative image related to hiking. These customized pieces will make her feel special and add a touch of uniqueness to her hiking wardrobe.

8. Subscription to Outdoor Magazines: Keep her inspired throughout the year by gifting her a subscription to outdoor magazines like "Outside" or "Backpacker." These magazines feature articles on hiking destinations, gear recommendations, and inspiring stories from fellow hikers, which will keep her motivated and informed about the latest trends in the hiking world.

Remember to consider her preferences, such as her favorite hiking destinations or activities, before selecting the perfect gift. By choosing something that aligns with her interests, you are not only showing your support for her passion but also nurturing her love for hiking.
