Exploring Oklahoma: Arbuckle Mountains

All Rights Reserved Megan Bannister

As children of the Midwest, none of us are particularly accustomed to mountains, or really any sort of substantial elevation. So when we spotted a scenic lookout point—called a turnout in Oklahoma—we couldn’t resist pulling off the highway for a glimpse of the Arbuckle Mountains.

Located in south central Oklahoma, the Arbuckle Mountains are the oldest known formations in the U.S. between the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. While it only stopped raining long enough for us to stretch our legs and take a few pictures, we would have loved to visit the nearby Turner Falls, Oklahoma’s tallest waterfall.
