How to Make the Most of Your Hotel in Oklahoma
Visit the Great Salt Plains State Park to the northwest of Enid or the Oklahoma Space Port at Burns Flat. Follow some of the longest remaining sections of Route 66 and discover pristine wildlife at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. If you’re a lover of modern architecture, the legendary Frank Lloyd designed several buildings in the state you can visit. Get your cowboy kicks at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum or take the scenic route along Talimena Drive, a 54 mile road running through the Ouachita National Forest.
Try your luck in one of the state’s casinos, many of which are located on tribal reservation land. Climb and trek in the Wichita Mountains of the Southwest or explore Great Plains Country, once the final and dangerous frontier of the USA. Oklahoma is also covered with woodland, lakes and rivers where you can get up close and personal with the natural world, with the landscape turning more to desert as you approach the pan handle. If you’re looking for some more urban fun, then the nightclubs and bars of Downtown Oklahoma City and the Bricktown District should be more than enough for you.
