Enjoyed your hiking adventures in the Wichita Mtn. Wildlife Refuge. I visited recently with my wife and we hiked some of the trails, not the ones you've shown, and explored on my gravel bike the Mt. Scott fire road trail and other places open to bikes. Felt like a cowboy making my way across the old wild west, especially with the bison and prairie dogs. Like you've mentioned, a unique area that's truly worth exploring with lots of pristine lakes.

That bushwhacking up Quanah Creek looked like Type II fun. All that rock hopping, creek crossings, and wading through tall grass and brush makes 3 miles feel like 12. Have you hiked up the Elk Mountain trail? There are a lot interesting rock features on top with a couple small arches and rock rooms.

Very nice. Is there any linguistic etymological tie between the words ouachita and witchita?
@T.K... 21 күн бұрын
They both derive from the names of native tribes but the Wichita's lived further North and West as you would expect given the place names.
@cimarronwoo 20 күн бұрын
The names come from different sources. “Wichita" is named after the native American peoples from the southern plains. "Ouachita" is the French spelling of the Caddo (from eastern Oklahoma) word "washita", meaning "good hunting grounds”.

Do you recall where you parked to access the lake? I have a kayak and hope to do this sometime in the near future. I saw another video where someone camped at a free Army Corps of Engineers location on the far west end of the lake and then paddled out to some islands.

I parked at the Buckville Recreation Area Campground on the north side of the lake. It’s free first come, first serve camping there.

Great memories of climbing Elk Mtn with family members. My brother and I climbed one day in the snow, came around a bend and a HUGE elk was just standing there looking at us. He was snow covered. One of those perfect moments. 👍🏻

I was thinking about doing this hike this weekend… I think this just cemented that! I did the OHT from Indian Creek to Lick Branch through the Marinoni Scenic Area a couple of weekends ago, just 10 or so miles further down the trail. That whole area is definitely a gem for hiking. Also, thank you for all of the time and work you put into your videos!! I definitely enjoy all of them ♥️

@OklahomoHiker Ай бұрын
This one would not be great for a five year old. It’s quite a bit of elevation gain and some boulder hopping. I might suggests walking to Forty-Foot Hole (which I have a video for) or Little Baldy and see how it goes before going for something more rigorous.
