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?
