A past trip that encouraged our up-in-coming 2024 CDT trip
Every year since my husband (@southern safaris ) and I were married we made a trip out west, mostly for camping and some trail rides.
Along the years we would find amazing places off the beaten path to ride and camp.
Just being able to enjoy the beauty that the Earth offers, untouched from the development of us
humans is something you couldn't even began to try to explain to someone,
they just have to experience first hand. Before we had our Isuzu Trooper we would take whatever vehicle we had on hand.
Having my Trooper just made enjoying the outdoors better and gave us the ability to get to more remote places.
In this post we travel from Oklahoma to Colorado.
(This will be a 4 part post since we can only post 10 photos per post)
First Stop: Mount Scott, OK
Located above Lawton Oklahoma, this beautiful mountain that overlooks a huge lake is a site to see. This mountain is one of many in the Wichita Mountain Range, with the wildlife refuge all around them. Mount Scott has a three-mile-long paved road that leads to the summit for breathtaking views of southwest Oklahoma. The peak towers at 2,464 feet above sea level.
In addition to that there is an old town called Medicine Park that has a long history as a vintage cobblestone resort town. There are little shops and restaurants in the town, but along the scenic drive is where you can see all the old historic buildings and animals. The drive is set inside the Wichita Mountain Wildlife refuge. There is a visitor center that is like a small museum of the animals that inhabit the area as well as a video that explains and shares old photos of how the refuge became what it is today. Thanks to Theodore Roosevelt we get to enjoy the beautiful views and animals all along this refuge. You can also fish and there are many many different hiking and primitive camping sites all along the huge scenic drives.
