Oklahoma State Parks
Oklahoma is known for its pioneer history and its cowboy culture, but no visit to the state is complete without a stop at least one of its excellent parks.

Oklahoma felt rooted. There was something steady in the land—the way the wind moved over tall grass, the way red earth held stories you could almost hear if you stood still long enough. I remember thinking, “This is a place that knows who it is, even if no one’s watching.”
What stayed with me were the contrasts—wildflower trails not far from glassy downtowns, local diners beside art museums, silence broken by bursts of song or history. I left Oklahoma feeling like I’d touched something real. Not flashy. Not forced. Just honest and open, and more moving than I expected.
