Veteran Suicide Awareness Ruck March/Hike

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 2 to 8 miles depending on your personal choice. Make the loop around Wolf Mountain, or hike further on to Jones' Spring and historic site. 

Bring: Please provide your own weighted pack. The target pack weight for this ruck march is 17 pounds to represent the average of 17 veterans we lose to suicide every day. 

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

Fee: No fees for participants or your families. RSVP Here!

Schedule: Meet up begins at 8:30 am at the Wolf Mt. Parking lot. At 9am we will start with a small ceremony and then begin the hike.

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 before 8:45am. There will be a short orientation before beginning the hike. 

Accessibility: Wolf Mt. Trail is a gravel double-wide trail that has some elevation changes and rough creek crossings (usually dry crossings). A GRIT chair is available if you would like to borrow one. Email Stephen.Garmon@TPWD.Texas.gov if you would like to use the chair on this hike.
