Hiking the Very Best of the Oklahoma Backcountry: Styx Canyon

Come along for an INCREDIBLE look at one of the very best views in Oklahoma. I'm checking out Styx Canyon in the Wichitas backcountry.
*This is very tough and rugged country. There is no cell service. There is no trail. There ARE rattlesnakes, bison, elk, longhorn, and scorpions.....everywhere.

Me and the wife just enjoy your videos so much, you have given us so many ideas for hikes many of which we have done. We both grew up in Tulsa but have lived in OKC for the past 25 years. You keep being you sir, love your videos!

[@OklahomoHiker]

Thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement. It makes me happy when I hear that other folks enjoy these little adventures. Hugs and happy trails to you both! 😊

My assessment. Excellent photography, music good, expand from amazing and cool, there are better words. Do you know about where the name Styx came from? And Charon?

[@bwarrentoo]

What a cool hike - thanks for sharing it!

[@OklahomoHiker]

Thank you for stopping by and leaving a kind word. Happy trails! 😊

First of your posts I've seen and well done! The Narrows Trail? post looks beautiful and I need to watch it. Being a native of Colorado Rky Mts I know rock and that's a lot of rock in Styx Canyon! You are very lucky the rattler didn't get you. Hope you have cell coverage for when it does happen. Thank you for taking us to this beautiful place that's green, with lots of water, monstrosities of rock and then tons of cactus? Love the shots of the rock of course but also the flora and fauna. Best, from Colorado!

[@OklahomoHiker]

Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a kind word! You have a dang pretty state yourself! I can’t wait to get back and hike colorful Colorado again! Happy trails! 😊

How long was your hike? It’s beautiful!! Might want to get some gaiters and try it out 😅

[@OklahomoHiker]

It was about 3.5 miles in total. The gaiters are a good idea! 😅

Have you upgraded your video equipment? Your colors and video quality seem better than it used to be, but maybe it's just me.

[@OklahomoHiker]

I wish I could say yes, and I likely will soon. For the moment, though, I think I just lucked out with amazing scenery and good lighting on this one. Thanks so much for watching! 😊

@@OklahomoHiker If it's not your equipment, it must be your skills. Even more impressive!
