Editors Note: The Quartz Mountain Flyer train is no longer running. Here are a few other fun train rides in Oklahoma you can take instead.
Of all the fun and exciting things to do in Oklahoma, a train ride through the scenic countryside is on the top of my list. There is a passenger excursion train that will take you on a 2-hour ride in southwest Oklahoma that’s unlike anything else in the state. The 2019 schedule will be announced shortly, and because dates sell out quickly, you’ll want to buy your tickets as soon as possible.
Keep scrolling to get more details.
The Quartz Mountain Flyer is a two-hour narrated trip that will take you through the stunning Quartz Mountains, around Lake Altus-Lugert, and along beautiful countryside. The Quartz Mountain Flyer Train Ride starts at the Quartz Mountain parking lot at SH44 & SH44A in Lone Wolf.
In mid to late January, they will announce the 2019 dates that are available for purchase, so follow their Facebook page to stay up-to-date (link below).
The train ride is approximately 2 hours long, plus a 30 minute stopover in the town of Lone Wolf. You'll get to enjoy some snacks before heading back to the depot.
For more information on the upcoming 2019 dates, please visit Quartz Mountain Facebook page here.
