1. Gloss Mountain State Park
Gloss Mountain takes my breath away every visit!
You can walk along the top although the trail to get there is pretty steep.
It is worth it though for the view!
2. Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge
This place is so unique and beautiful!
If you go April 1st-October 15th, you can dig for crystals!
Go to their website to find out the rules and more information.
3. Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge
Bison and cattle roam this refuge and they have a prairie dog town!
The scenery is a great reason to visit also though!
So beautiful!
4. Talimena Scenic Drive
I love going on the Talimena Scenic Drive in the fall!
So pretty!
Honorable mentions:
Robbers Cave State Park
Fun climbs with some steep drop-offs.
Fun visit if you have some climbers.
Dripping Springs State Park
Pretty waterfall that you can view from the top or bottom.
I love how tranquil this spot is.
Little Sahara State Park
And so many more!
I love visiting interesting spots in Oklahoma!
Do you have a favorite?



























The zoo is set up so that you can do loops.








So many of the exhibits were breathtakingly beautiful.

It is always nice to wear out your kids before a long drive also…
