“Oklahoma doesn’t have any hiking”

Whoever said there is no hiking or nothing to do in Oklahoma is so wrong.

📍Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

When we think of Oklahoma.. we think flat land and tornadoes. We heard about the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge and wanted to go since it was only about an hour from where we’re staying. It. was. awesome!

⛰️ Fun fact, these mountains formed due to a failed continental rift.

🥾We did the Little Baldy Trail and the Narrows Trail. It was also Ace’s first real climb up and he totally rocked it. We went straight up the rocks on Little Baldy.

🤠Also, we got to see bison in person for the first time and we saw lots of longhorns!

Have you visited the Wichita Mountains?

... Read moreDespite common misconceptions, Oklahoma offers incredible hiking opportunities, especially in the Wichita Mountains. This area is not only home to beautiful landscapes but also rich wildlife sightings, such as bison and longhorns. Popular trails like the Little Baldy Trail provide a mix of challenges and stunning views that cater to both novice and experienced hikers alike. The Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, located an hour away from popular cities, invites adventure seekers to explore its diverse terrain. This refuge was established to protect the unique flora and fauna of the area, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers. Hiking here not only contributes to physical health but also promotes mental well-being through immersion in nature. Always remember to respect wildlife and stay on designated paths to preserve the sanctuary's beauty. Next time someone says there’s nothing to do in Oklahoma, take them to the Wichita Mountains and show them the incredible outdoor adventures waiting to be found!
