Veteran Suicide Awareness Walk/Ruck at Government Canyon SNA
- When: Saturday, September 27, 2025, 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
- Location: 12861 Galm Rd., San Antonio, TX 78254
- Cost: Entrance fee: $6 Adult | Children 12 and under are Free.
Join GCSNA for a walk in honor of those we have lost to suicide and in support of those still struggling to find a way to live after their service.
The Harlan High School Air Force Junior ROTC Color Guard will present the colors at the Amphitheater to start off the event around 8:30 AM.
There are several suggested walking routes with water stations and info tables:
- Savannah Loop
- Lytle's Loop
- Discovery Trail
Hikers on either trail can do as many laps as they feel comfortable with, and can hike weighted or unweighted. Rucking is welcome but not required. If you are rucking, please provide your own weighted ruck. We will have a pack scale for your use at the Frontcountry Trailhead and at the Visitor Center. If you choose to fill your ruck with non-perishable food, you can empty it into a donation box for the San Antonio Food Bank at the end of the event.
This hike is open to all ages. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.

Park in Lot C to check in and hike Savannah or Lytle's Loop. After checking in, those who wish to use the Discovery Trail may want to move to park in Lot A or B nearer the Visitor Center.
Registration is NOT required. Entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, please pre-purchase and print out a day pass. Day passes can be reserved beginning one month before the date of your visit.
Veterans & Active Duty Military: Check out our Parklands Passports, which provide you with free entry to all Texas State Parks (including GCSNA). You can bring your documentation and register for your passport at our Visitor Center or any other TX State Park. Note that these are best obtained in advance. Waiting until the day of the event will slow you down, as our Visitor Center does not open until 8:30 am and our staff may be serving many visitors.
