Gloss Mountain State Park – Fairview, OK

#summervacay Gloss Mountain State Park is a striking and underrated summer stop, known for its shimmering red mesas and unique selenite crystal formations. A short but steep hike leads to panoramic views of the surrounding prairie and the valley below. It’s not a large park, but it’s one of Oklahoma’s most photogenic. Best visited in the early morning or evening to avoid the heat, this spot is perfect for hiking, photography, and soaking in quiet desert-like beauty. A minimalist, magical #summervacay gem.
