Oklahoma

America's Byways®

  • Cherokee Hills Byway

    Situated in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains the Cherokee Hills Byway is a showcase of eastern Oklahoma's tremendous diversity.

  • Dry Cimarron Scenic Byway

    Unaltered by time, the Dry Cimarron Scenic Byway traverses a landscape that has been preserved since prehistoric times and offers sanctuary to many unique plants and animals. Far removed from the frantic pace of modern-day civilization, the Dry Cimarron Byway offers a respite for the body and soul traversing New Mexico and Oklahoma.

  • Historic Route 66

    The charm, the history, and the atmosphere that make up "The Mother Road" brings travelers from all over the world to experience America the way it should be experienced - down a stretch of highway where "anything goes" is literal.

  • Talimena Scenic Drive

    Visual delights await those who travel along the Talimena Scenic Drive. See vistas with shades of green in the foreground's forests to blue haze in the distant mountains. Rocky fields and trees gnarled from winter winds and ice testify to the harsh environment the early settlers encountered in these mountains.

  • Wichita Mountains Byway

    A natural beauty capable of astonishing even well-traveled visitors, the Wichita Mountains Byway guides you through the protected valleys of the 550 million-year-old Wichita Mountains, which shelter the largest remnant block of southern mixed grassland and ancient cross-timbers in North America. Experience the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, one of the oldest managed nature preserves in the Nation and the site that President Theodore Roosevelt chose for the first effort to save American bison from extinction.
