The Trail as Therapy: Why Veterans Are Turning to Nature

For many veterans, the return to civilian life brings more than just a change in routine—it can bring anxiety, isolation, and loss of direction. That’s why so many are turning to the trail. Whether it’s the Appalachian or a local forest path, hiking offers calm, clarity, and connection. Step by step, nature becomes a healing partner, offering mental relief, physical strength, and emotional grounding. Out here, the mission is personal. And recovery comes one mile at a time. #VeteransInNature #TrailHealing #PTSDRecovery #MentalHealthMatters #HikingTherapy
