Boots on the Ground: Hiking for Veteran Mental Health Awareness

8:30a to 12:30p

(915) 857-1135

Lace up your boots and join us on a guided 3-mile moderate hike through Hueco Tanks to combat Veteran Suicide.

Lace up your boots and embrace the spirit of camaraderie! Join us for a 3-mile ground-level hike through the stunning landscapes of Hueco Tanks. In honor of Veteran Suicide Prevention Month, we invite veterans, their families, and the entire community to come together to remember those we’ve lost and support those who are still struggling. For some veterans, coming home doesn't mean their war is over. 

Bring plenty of water and snacks, dress for the weather, and wear sun protection and sturdy close-toed shoes.

All fees are waived. Space is limited and reservations are required. Call park headquarters for reservations and/or questions at (915) 857-1135.
