RED ROCK CANYON, OKLAHOMA

Red Rock Canyon State Park, Hinton, OK

As we left our campsite to head to Red Rock

we couldn't help but notice the geese were still in charge

Even the river underneath this beautiful bridge is

called the South Canadian River

We arrived and checked to see if they had an opening. 

Once in the canyon, we learned we were the only ones there. :)

It was a steep drive down

This right angle turn to the left was rediculous

It was a pretty drive down

and we picked our site at the end of the road

since the road was wider and the canyons didn't close you in so much.  

The whole park is only 310 acres and 2 miles long.

After getting settled we hopped on our bikes and took a ride.

It didn't take long to go the complete length

We made a few stops along the way

The sign says:

This Box Elder Tree is the Largest in Oklahoma

 King of the Campground

This tree and the creek were right beside our campsite

We quickly learned from the ranger we were the only ones in the Campground

We had already come to that conclusion, but it was now confirmed.

Here are a few of the critters around us. 

 Day 2, We had a high of 69 degrees today.  Ton took a short hike across the top of the canyon, and I baked some cookies. 

 It full of different wildflowers

 but not much else.

 Not like our other canyons 

Among the beauty, you can always find some kind of critter 

It was nice park; but after the excitement of the the other

places, it was almost too quiet.  

To be honest, we're already missing the beauty and excitement of the West.
