I photographed an elopement at Wichita Wildlife Refuge this July and it is such a great spot with amazing views for an intimate elopement! It is worth keeping in mind that ceremonies need to happen only in reserved areas which are either the boulder cabin picnic area or the holy city! It is a great spot for those who want views + as much or as little hiking as you prefer!

So many trails to explore. Visit the Holy City & climb the Heart Rock . The view was amazing from the heart rock . Forgot the name of the waterfall but that was fun to climb up and see it. Buffaloes were hardly out when we went . Seen about 2 roam freely. Bring plenty of water during the hot days & no cell phone service most of the time . Try to catch a lizard 😆good luck

It was beautiful. So cool to see a buffalo and Prairie dogs! Beautiful. The top of the mountain was worth the view. We tried to hike a trail but it was just to hot. We plan on going back in the fall.

Fantastic place, with nearly 40,000 acres of land general open to the public, including an officially designated wilderness area at the west end. Because you have a mix of ecotones — the mountains do rise 1,000 feet or more above the prairie floor, the mixed-grass prairie fading into shortgrass and more, you get a variety of flora and fauna.

We came to hike and chose the Elk Mountain Trail. The weather was in the upper 70’s and still very warm so be sure to take lots of water and be mindful of your dog due to the heat and rocky terrain. Beautiful area that really captures the wildness of early Oklahoma. Be aware of your surroundings. Snakes and wildlife can make unexpected appearances. The visitor center is a must. Interactive exhibits, clean bathrooms, gift shop, and helpful staff. Be sure you download maps and have a trail map with you. Lot of game trails and not an area you want to be lost on a hot day. Mt. Scott nearby should be on your itinerary. Highly recommend a visit. With investment, this has the ability to be National Park.
