These 19 Mind-Blowing Sceneries Totally Define Oklahoma
When it comes to Oklahoma scenery…it never gets tiring. We have so much beauty that outsiders don’t give it credit for – they’ll soon see that it is all but flat and boring. To show you the variety Oklahoma has to offer, here are 19 breathtaking sceneries that totally define Oklahoma:
1. These wild horses in Osage County are gorgeous. The terrain in northeastern Oklahoma is ideal for wild horses due to its adequate water supply, native grasses high in protein and the rocky terrain that helps to naturally trim the horse's hooves.
9. Another stunning region is Gloss Mountains - a series of mesas and buttes that extend from the Permian red beds of the Blaine Escarpment of northwestern Oklahoma in Major County.
10. Lake Carlton sits amid some of the most picturesque scenery in the region. Pine forests and rocky cliffs ideal for hiking, rock climbing and wildlife viewing make Lake Carlton one of the best locations in the area to spend some quality time with the great outdoors.
11. The Tallgrass Prairie Preserve near Pawhuska, Oklahoma is the largest protected area of tallgrass prairie on earth, spanning 39,000 acres. The diversity of grassland and forest is home to over 300 species of birds.
13. The American Bison roam free in The Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge, one of the few places in the nation where they can still roam as they did centuries ago.
