Witchita Mountains, OK

Did you know there are mountains in Oklahoma? I have lived here for almost 6 years and I didn’t know this beautiful place was here. Witchita mountain wildlife refuge is AMAZING!

My husband and I stayed in medicine park for 4 days and we had a ball! We loved all the hiking and local food. #oklahoma #hiking #weekendactivities

This wildlife refuge has no fences to keep the animals away from the road. They are all over the park and not scared of people. The bison and long horns and prairie dogs are awesome. Well worth the trip #wildlife #witchitamountains #hiking

A Bible journal page displays Matthew 17:20 highlighted, stating, 'if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.' A hand-drawn mountain illustration accompanies the handwritten phrase 'faith CAN MOVE Mountains.' A hand with pink manicured nails rests on the page, with Lemon8 branding visible.
