This Scenic Train Ride Is The Perfect Way To Enjoy The Oklahoma Countryside

Editors Note: The Quartz Mountain Flyer train is no longer running. Here are a few other fun train rides in Oklahoma you can take instead.

Of all the fun and exciting things to do in Oklahoma, a train ride through the scenic countryside is on the top of my list. There is a passenger excursion train that will take you on a 2-hour ride in southwest Oklahoma that's unlike anything else in the state. The 2019 schedule will be announced shortly, and because dates sell out quickly, you'll want to buy your tickets as soon as possible.
