Men’s Day Hike – Wichita Mountains

We’re starting the day the right way: hot breakfast, strong coffee, and boots on the ground.

This is a men’s day hike in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge—simple, stripped down, and outside. No stage. No long talks. Just breakfast together, a short devotional, and a solid hike through one of the best landscapes in Oklahoma.

You’re welcome to bring your kids if they can keep up, but this isn’t a kids event. The trail isn’t technical, but it’s real hiking—best for those who can handle a few miles at an easy-to-moderate pace (generally kids 6+).

For the hard-core guys who want more than a morning: come down Friday night. We’ll light a fire, grill burgers, and enjoy a slow evening under the stars. Campers will also be the cooks—prepping breakfast tacos for the hikers the next morning.

No fluff. No pressure. Just a good start to the day and time on the trail with other men.
