Come join us as we bring awareness for our veterans, service members, families, and friends.

This year for suicide awareness month we invite you to join us for a ruck march out to Wolf Mountain Trail, one of our more popular trails. This hike will be 5 or 8 miles depending on your personal choice. Make the loop around Wolf Mountain, or hike further on to Jones' Spring and historic site.

Other essentials: water, snacks, hiking boots/shoes, and comfortable clothes. 

Fee: Normal Entrance fees apply, no additional cost to attend the event.

Schedule: Meet up begins at 7:30 am at the Wolf Mt. Parking lot. 

Meeting Location: Wolf Mt. Parking lot is the first right after leaving the park headquarters. There is drinking water there, but no restrooms. Please arrive around 7:30am. There will be a short orientation before beginning the hike.
