- I traveled to the Wichita Mountains located in southwest Oklahoma. These mountains are 550 million years old making them older than many of the mountain ranges you've probably heard of.
Want to take this trip? Here was my schedule:
DAY 1:
Alabaster Caverns State Park
Sunset at the Little Sahara State Park observation tower
DAY 2:
Quartz Mountain State Park
Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge
Charon's Garden Wilderness Area
Sunset at Mt. Scott
DAY 3:
Revisit Wichita Mountains
Gloss Mountain State Park
Fantastic footage of western Oklahoma and the beautiful locations, Thank You. I grew up in Lawton near the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. As a Northern Californian for decades we have amazing scenery in this part of California. However, when I vacation in Oklahoma in the Fall the Wichitas always have a special place in my heart. I love the stunning canyons, lakes, woods and boulders throughout the refuge. Medicine Park is a special destination looking up to Mt. Scott. And the view from the top of Mt. Scott takes your breath away. Many outsiders would never know such beautiful scenery exists in Oklahoma.
As a native Okie, I am tremendously impressed with this video, the skill, the beauty you captured and the impact this great state had on you is reflected well in 6 minutes....Thank you for capturing our sentiments and make us even more proud of our state...Thank you!!!
You have the soul of a poet. Tremendous video. No one knows how beautiful this state actually is. There are mountains all over the state, but not in Oklahoma City and Tulsa where everyone lives. Arbuckle mts are actually the oldest in the world.
Thank you! Before going on the trip, I had never heard anything about these mountains so they really took me by surprise!
Thank you for all the great things you said about our great state. We wish for you a longer stay Next Time!😊
wow, such a great video. This deserves a million views. I hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves one day.
Weekly hiker in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Spectacular place.
I love this! Beautiful job at capturing the beauty. I grew up in Altus right between quartz mtn and the wild life refuge. Never noticed the beautify until I moved away.
Lovely. I know the Wichitas like the back of my hand and enjoyed the perspective.

Hi :) Love your video! I was born and raised in north Texas. Spent some time in Oklahoma when I was growing up. Never saw the mountains up close like this. We live in Seattle, 6 years now. I was looking for videos of home. I’ll watch your other videos too. Good job!!! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Nice, thanks!
well done! awesome video
Thank you!
Those were part of the Ancestral Rocky Mountains. On geologic maps those are called Amarillo-Whicita Highlands. There's another highland in the Big Bend region, two in Colorado and one in Wyoming. They're not sure what created those.
Keep up the great work, remember me when you are famous
Haha thanks
