Oklahoma Motorcycle Roads and Trips

Motorcycle rides in Oklahoma's (OK) will feature scenery dominated by flat to rolling hills of various forms of prairie grasslands as three quarters of the state is blanketed by prairie grasses (one quarter of the state is considered forested). Riders will see elevations that vary from the state's low point in its southeast corner (at only 800 feet above sea level) and rise as you move west into the panhandle where the highest peak resides - Black Mesa at 5,000 feet above sea level. The state has four primary mountain ranges: the Ouachita Mountains, the Arbuckle Mountains, the Wichita Mountains, and the Ozark Mountains. And, the state is home to the most number of manmade lakes in the US at 200.

The Rune Stone Ride (May 08)

… road is perfect! It's nicely paved and has a lot of curves as well as some straight-aways. There is no traffic - at times I didn't pass a car or truck for 30 minutes ... you have to ride out to the Rune Stone National Park in Heavener to see the proof the Norse men discovered America
