Community members and veterans are invited to participate in hikes with weighted backpacks. These events aim to raise awareness for veterans' mental health. The hikes coincide with a month focused on suicide prevention.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is organizing these hikes at multiple locations. Further details about the events are available.

Veterans and active-duty military can participate for free, with certain conditions applying to their entry. The goal is to provide a supportive environment and highlight the importance of mental health awareness.
