Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

I was in Dallas for a few days last week, and we took a drive up to Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.

Here are some photos I took there. It was such a pretty place!

We went on a hike through an area called "The Narrows."

Very beautiful! Love the lizard!

So, how did "The Narrows" get their name and the lizard shot is great. and that bison looks like one animal I would not want to **** off

Love the pic of that lizard!!!

Thank you! It was a beautiful place. Our drive up from Dallas was entirely flat plains... and then the the hills started coming into view. I wasn't expecting it to be so pretty.

I'm pretty sure it was because the path was surrounded by large rocky canyons. There were a few signs along the way saying "no rappelling" and once we came across the rocks and river, it was obvious why :rofl1:
