The journey on this scenic byway starts in the town of Apache. From Oklahoma City, Apache is roughly 90-minutes away, while Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is about three hours away.

Lost Valley, which is particularly scenic in the fall, at the trail’s easternmost end, winds up and down hills through a hardwood forest. Ordway Prairie between Sunburg and Glenwood.

The Rockies already took care of that part; no matter how many emails you send directly to Dick.Manfort@Rockies.edu (the domain was cheaper), manager Bud Black will not be returning.

The first half of the Rockies’ 2025 season was miserable, and that’s an understatement. But at least it was eventful. That’s also an understatement.
