"Settled by pioneers during the 1889 Land Run, home to former cattle trails and cattle ranches, and the birthplace of countless Western film stars, musicians and entertainers, Oklahoma City is a can’t-miss stop in cowboy country.

Home to the prestigious Prix de West art exhibition, this internationally-renowned museum inspires visitors with an astonishing array of Western art, American Indian and frontier artifacts and even a fully constructed turn-of-the-century cattle town."

"Located on the northern side of Lake Hefner is Bluff Creek Park, a beautiful urban park located amidst some wild, forested areas. Here, you can often see deer wandering through the trees, or turtles in the nearby streams. The 1.2-mile trail that runs through here is an excellent way to see the area’s scenic forests and waterways, and it’s short enough to do in under an hour."
"The leaves are turning and the trees are abundant at this park. You can find a variety of excellent spots to snap those family pictures with the changing foliage in the background. There are a number of bridges, fields, and trails to give you variety in your shots."

Coop Ale Works offers tours and brewery-only pours at the new facility. They distribute 16oz cans around Oklahoma."
