Making of the "Oklahoma Adventure Trail"

Oklahoma Adventure Trail

This thread will be used for us to build the "Oklahoma Adventure Trail" If anyone would like to help with any section either by scouting or giving feedback on better routing it would be much appreciated.

The trail started as an idea of Dadayama and mine. We had the idea of a large ride that would encompass the state and stop at a bunch of interesting sights along the way avoiding major roads and towns. After a couple weeks of emails we had a good list of things in Oklahoma that we both thought the route should go by or through. Then started the planning. After a couple months of planning routes based on county maps and Google this thread was started. The goal of this route is to have an ever changing flexible ride that a person could start or finish in any location. This is an open share ride, no charge for the file. We just ask that if you ride the route you post up any findings about closed roads, better options on routing, and pictures.

List of locations that the route currently goes by or through:
"frog rock"

"graffiti wall"

Great salt plains

Talihina Scenic Highway

Mt. Scott and Meers area
Turner Falls
Quartz Mountain
Boiling Springs state park
Beavers Bend state park
So far has about 5 water crossings
