I made it a point to visit the Wichita Mountains and be able to say I ventured out to see what this state has to offer. My boyfriend and I, along with a few friends decided to head out to Lawton during Labor Day weekend on a whim. We wanted to to find the most interesting way to start our hike, so after speaking with a wizard (the information guide as my friends referred to), he sent us through Charon's Garden Wilderness Area to find what was (
use your imagination) a waterfall.The
3 bags of french fries I ate on the drive to Lawton could have explained why I wheezed my way through the area, but as first time hikers we took on one of the moderate to difficult trails.

On the way back, we half assedly (is this a word?) decided to stop by Medicine Park and the timing could not have been perfect. Turns out, the town was having a small Blue's festival that lasted into the evening and we took full advantage of the $1 beers.
We left very content with our decision to explore and combined ability to navigate without dying in the wild. Together, the goal is go back and take down the easier trails around Mt. Scott and possibly make plans on visiting the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge.
