Oklahoma is known for its diverse terrain, and one of the most unusual ones you’ll find is in the Four Canyon Preserve in western Oklahoma. It’s known for its deep wooded canyons, mixed-grass prairies, and natural floodplains. It’s open by appointment only on select dates and it’s the perfect place to go for a tranquil day trip in the Sooner State.

Four Canyon Preserve encompasses over 4,000 acres of beautiful rolling hills, rugged canyons, prairies, rare birds and plants, and picturesque scenery.
