Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge
Where Nature Abounds....
I've been to a lot of state parks in my day, but few can compare to the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. Here is just a sampling of what can be found within the wildlife refuge:
- Well-designed nature center featuring wildlife, plant life and rocks indigenous to the area.
- Elk, Buffalo, Longhorns, as well as a Prairie Dog Village
- Miles & miles of hiking trails.
- The Holy City; a recreation of the Life of Jesus;
- Wildflowers year-round;
- Huge boulders, including Boulder Valley which streams down from Mount Scott which rises over 1,000 feet into the air;
- Camp Doris Camping Grounds, complete with showers and electrical/water equipped campsites.
- Birds (including bird watching areas), snakes (we've seen a few rattlesnakes amid our visits), skunks, possums, raccoons (we saw a family of raccoons squawking by the stream parallel to Camp Doris one summer night)
- An ominous castle;
- Picnic grounds, fishing holes and so much more.
