9 Stunning Oklahoma Hiking Trails
Molly Sanders

Warm, sunny weather calls for hiking and adventuring. Why not hike through Oklahoma? I can guarantee your day will be well spent if you hit the trails this spring and see our beautiful state.

1. Elk Mountain Trail

Nestled in the Wichita Mountains, this is a lightly trafficked 2.2 mile in and out trail. Rated as a moderate trail, it is an easy hike!

2. Narrows Trail to Boulder Mountain

Also in the Wichitas, this 1 mile loop trail features a gorgeous view at the top. Although it is rated as difficult, don't be discouraged, it is still just a moderate hike in my opinion.

3. Turkey Mountain via Yellow Trail

This 3.8 mile loop in Tulsa is open year round and also allows dogs and horses. Grab some friends and check out the awesome river views!

4. Clear Bay Trail

Best used from March- October, this 8.7 mile loop is an easy Trail just outside of Norman in Little River State Park

5. Charons Garden Mountains Trail

Featuring a lake and numerous wildflowers, this 6.9 mile out and back trail is a difficult one, but worth it in the end.

6. Green Leaf Trail Loop

17.9 miles of moderate hiking that is mostly used for overnight backpacking. Suited for dogs, horses, and families.

7. Skyline Trail


An 11.6 mile loop near Broken Bow, this difficult hike features a waterfall and is recommended for experienced adventurers!

8. Turner Falls Park Hiking Trails

Heavily trafficked due to the stunning 77 foot waterfall, this is a 3.5 mile moderate loop trail. There is a $12 entrance fee for this, but it's well worth the money.

9. Robber's Cave Trail

Said to be the hideout of infamous outlaws, this 0.9 mile loop is moderately trafficked and goes over boulders and features a river.

So, what do you say, ready to get those hiking shoes on and see the scenic views of Oklahoma? Even if you don't live in Oklahoma, head on over to AllTrails and find some stunning landscapes near you!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
