Little Sahara State Park

As the name suggests, this surprising stretch of dunes in Waynoka feels like Oklahoma’s version of the Sahara Desert.

The Pioneer Woman encourages Little Sahara State Park tourists to “rent an ATV in town and ride over the dunes or watch the action from an observation deck at the park's Buttercup Campground.”

Gloss Mountain State Park in Fairview, Oklahoma, entices visitors with its sparkling, high Selenite content. The Pioneer Woman says sight-seers “can take stairs straight to the top [of the mountain], or just head to the picnic area at the base for lunch with a gorgeous backdrop.”

Salt Plains

In the small town of Jet, Oklahoma, is the Great Salt Plains Lake. Situated in Salt Plains State Park, the attraction is characterized by “about 12,000 acres of salty residue―and a very striking landscape,” says The Pioneer Woman. Visitors of the one-of-a-kind sight “are free to roam and dig for amber-colored crystals until mid-October.”

Seniors enjoy fall color at Robbers Cave State Park.

In Wilburton, Oklahoma, tourists can find the famous Robbers Cave in Robbers Cave State Park. The Pioneer Woman says visitors to this attraction can explore the cave, where outlaws Jesse James and Bella Starr supposedly hid during the late 1800s, hike the park’s various trails, or rent a canoe or kayak.
