Wichita Mountains

Yesterday Kelso and I decided to take a quick lunch break and head to the mountains. It's been forever since I've driven through the refuge, not to mention up Mount Scott. All the road repairs have been completed and Mt. Scott is officially reopened. We made a quick stop, grabbed some lunch, and headed to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge for a short break. It's a great way to get a little R&R in the middle of the workday.

If like me you're bored to death and looking for something, anything to do I may have a solution. The family and I were sitting around trying to think of an activity we can all do together and that doesn't cost too much, even better if it's free! Well after we starting listing "things to do" hiking came up and everyone agreed we'd hit the trails. It's the perfect weekend activity and will get us all outdoors and moving!

The Holy City of the Wichitas could be closing due to financial challenges. The Holy City operates and is open thanks to donations from visitors and of course a lot of those visitors come for the annual Easter pageant "The Price of Peace." With the COVID-19 pandemic last year the pageant was delayed and was only lightly attended unlike years past. This has caused serious issues and has jeopardized the Holy City's future.

This past weekend the family and I where looking for something to do so we decided to take a little trip to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. It's been awhile since we've been out there, plus the weather was perfect for a quick hike and picnic. Before we hit the road we checked the TravelOK app to plan our attack and we even found some new places we've never visited before.

We're finally gonna get some live music this Labor Day weekend in Medicine Park, OK. with the 2020 Mayor's Blues Ball. Three full days of great blues music, cool vendors, delicious food and incredible scenery. it's just what the doctor ordered!

While our humble Wichita Mountains often catch rolling eyes, it's still a great thing to see people out in nature, living up the beauty SWOK has to offer.

While it's hard to tell on film, the fall yellows and oranges are starting to finally show up in the Wichita's. Within the next week or two, it should be prime for driving.

As we expected, the last week of cool overnight temps and sunshiny days have the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge changing into its Autumn tux.

It's Z94's very first drone video! We were all excited to get started and there was really only one place we could think of going to do our first video, the Wichita Mountains! The footage your about to see has been described by us as breathtaking, majestic and inspiring.

I spent an evening in the Wichita Mountains the other day, and took a GoPro along with me. Came across these little guys, and they were pretty vocal about it.

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, make the Wichita Mountains Boulder Field the top spot on your list!
