NATURE TRAILS

Let's get physical with nature! Rarely will one see the pearl in the Oyster of Nature without doing a little fancy footwork. Most waterfalls require a hike-back; elk generally will not greet a nature enthusiastic at their car unless it's a drive-through zoo; wild fruits, nuts & berries won't fly off trees into woven containers for roadside viewing - and frankly, they just don't look the same off the tree, as on.

Some nature trails are naturally mined with natural beauties. Some require exhausting searches and topo maps. Some will render breathtaking beauty by asking the nature lover to sacrifice a mere handful of steps to meet them. Such is the case for Natural Falls State Park in the Northeastern part of Oklahoma - I daresay the prettiest state park within Oklahoma.

For a small entry fee into the park, you'll get the gift of lifetime memories that include: a striking 77 foot waterfall with both above and below observation points (the bridge spanning the falls is quite a work of art in itself!), and serene nature trails (Tom and I actually caught site of beaver) (YES, in the stream).

The waterfall has spurned several baby falls that are also quite impressive and they've worked to create a grotto below that will choke out an, "Ooooohhhhhh," from every visitor at first sight.

So whether you take the long road or the high road, hiking back or walking to - it's worth your journey!  One can set locked in front of a television set for hours at a time, days at a time, months at a time and years at a time - until they've got a mere lifetime of electronic interaction, a surreal form of vicarious existence.

We hope that you will get out and mingle with nature. Get kissed by the sun, roped by the wind, and be-dazzled by what Mother Nature delivers rather than what man delivers. And have fun on your journey because that's rule #1~
