I'm heading out on a week-long hike in the mountains and want to ensure my family can keep track of me in case of an emergency. I'm using an iPhone 12 and my friend has an iPhone 14. Can the Find My app still show our location if there's no cellular signal, no internet, or if either of our phones is turned off?

Yes, even if your device is offline or turned off, Find My can still help you track it. It uses the Find My network, which relies on other Apple devices nearby to send your phone's location to iCloud. Just keep in mind that to use this feature effectively, you need to be near other people with devices, which might be hard in remote areas like the mountains.
Just a heads up, while it can locate your phone, it won't give continuous updates unless the device is on and connected to other devices.
