9 Stunning Oklahoma Hiking Trails
Molly Sanders

Warm, sunny weather calls for hiking and adventuring. Why not hike through Oklahoma? I can guarantee your day will be well spent if you hit the trails this spring and see our beautiful state.

1. Elk Mountain Trail

Nestled in the Wichita Mountains, this is a lightly trafficked 2.2 mile in and out trail. Rated as a moderate trail, it is an easy hike!

2. Narrows Trail to Boulder Mountain

Also in the Wichitas, this 1 mile loop trail features a gorgeous view at the top. Although it is rated as difficult, don't be discouraged, it is still just a moderate hike in my opinion.

3. Turkey Mountain via Yellow Trail

This 3.8 mile loop in Tulsa is open year round and also allows dogs and horses. Grab some friends and check out the awesome river views!

4. Clear Bay Trail

Best used from March- October, this 8.7 mile loop is an easy Trail just outside of Norman in Little River State Park

5. Charons Garden Mountains Trail

Featuring a lake and numerous wildflowers, this 6.9 mile out and back trail is a difficult one, but worth it in the end.

6. Green Leaf Trail Loop

17.9 miles of moderate hiking that is mostly used for overnight backpacking. Suited for dogs, horses, and families.

7. Skyline Trail


An 11.6 mile loop near Broken Bow, this difficult hike features a waterfall and is recommended for experienced adventurers!

8. Turner Falls Park Hiking Trails

Heavily trafficked due to the stunning 77 foot waterfall, this is a 3.5 mile moderate loop trail. There is a $12 entrance fee for this, but it's well worth the money.

9. Robber's Cave Trail

Said to be the hideout of infamous outlaws, this 0.9 mile loop is moderately trafficked and goes over boulders and features a river.

So, what do you say, ready to get those hiking shoes on and see the scenic views of Oklahoma? Even if you don't live in Oklahoma, head on over to AllTrails and find some stunning landscapes near you!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
