LOCAL ATTRACTIONS -
Gloss Mountain State Park

Rising out of flat surroundings, the Gloss Mountains are a true Oklahoma treasure. This recreational and educational state park is maintained in natural habitat and open daily for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Cathedral Mountain Trail is just over 1 mile and offers a spectacular view of the valley floor and Lone Peak. Miles of prairie floor stretch out as far as the eye can see, broken up only by the native red dirt and sparse green shrubbery. Carry a camera to capture the rustic land geography, geological formations, Selenite gypsum, scenery and wildlife.
