Tallest Mountains in Oklahoma

Oklahoma might be known for its plains, but the landscape actually gets pretty rugged once you hit the western panhandle and the ancient ranges in the south. The state’s highest ground is dominated by the Black Mesa region, which feels more like New Mexico than the Midwest, featuring flat-topped mesas and deep canyons. Further east, you run into the Ouachitas and the Wichitas, which offer some solid elevation and rocky terrain that’s great for hiking.
