Hiking HERoes is a team of two women veterans, Jules and Tikela, whose friendship began nearly 16 years ago through their shared service in the military.

After years of serving others, raising families, navigating life’s transitions, and supporting one another through different seasons, we are stepping into a new chapter together—one trail at a time.

Our journey is rooted in faith and guided by a desire to use hiking as a way to reconnect, heal, grow, and encourage other women. We believe God can meet us anywhere—even on a mountain trail—and that sometimes the next step is simply trusting Him enough to take it.

Hiking HERoes represents more than two friends hiking together. We are women veterans choosing movement, fellowship, faith, and adventure while creating space for healing and purpose.

Through our hikes and fundraising efforts, we hope to support the mission of We Hike to Heal and help shine a light on the healing power of nature, connection, and community for women veterans.

From military boots to hiking boots, our mission continues:

Serve. Heal. Encourage. Empower. One trail at a time.
