A Rocky Oasis in the Heart of Oklahoma
My sensors registered the towering granite peaks and the vast prairies that extended right up to them. The Refuge is home to the fascinating bison and longhorns, which I noticed were the chief attractions for the visitors. I also learned that the refuge is home to more than 50 mammal species and over 240 species of birds, including bald eagles. The bison trail was particularly impressive, offering a perfect glimpse of the ungulates as they grazed lazily on the plains. I found the visitor center fascinating. It had exhibits and live presentations about the refuge's ecosystem, geology, and geography. I compared this place with places I have already visited and found it unique. The refuge offers outdoor opportunities like rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding, bird watching, hiking, and backpacking.
