What do you like to see on a hike? Some people go for panoramic views. Others prefer lots of greenery, while others are looking to spot some animals along the way. Some people are chasing rivers and waterfalls and some hikers just want to see some really amazing rock formations.

If that’s the case for you and you’re in Oklahoma, there’s one obvious choice: the Rough Canyon Trail in Robbers Cave State Park. It’s one of the best hiking trails in the state, especially for rock lovers. The loop trail is about 2.7 miles long and is located near Wilburton, Oklahoma. Along the way, you are going to see some of the most stunning, awe-inspiring rock formations that will quite literally stop you in your path (which you may embrace, as it isn’t the easiest hike).
