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!

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
