Experience the rich heritage that runs through Oklahoma’s veins, taking a moment to honor those who helped make this state what it is today. Native American culture on Adventure Road is living, breathing and ever-present. Voices that echo across generations are heard in this land of prairies and plains. This is Chickasaw Country.

“A person cannot travel the journey of life without first understanding where he or she has come from or why he or she is moving forward.”

Take a moment to indulge yourself in the finer things in life, whether that involves prime steaks or high stakes. High rollers know how to play the game, and they play it well. You’ll learn that fortune sides with those who take the dare, whether you live for the rush of roulette or the deep crimson of a rare filet and glass of Cabernet. Go for it, and watch the winnings roll in.

“Believe me. The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously.”

Take Adventure Road to its northernmost point and open your heart to Oklahoma City, where southern charm mingles with the sleek metropolitan landscape. From the ever-changing colors of the SkyDance Bridge to the ever-expanding skyline, the red roads of Bricktown to the kick-back atmosphere of Midtown, discover a capital city that has reinvented itself.

Adventure comes in all shapes and sizes. Timeless experiences await in Oklahoma’s small towns, where the air’s thicker, the colors are richer and the pace is just a bit slower. Wander off the beaten path from Duncan to Davis, Ardmore to Tishomingo, Ada to Newcastle. The makings of an unforgettable getaway are just one left turn away.

Before pavement, before roadside stops, there were trails blazed by the pounding hooves of millions of cattle, grinding a path through the heart of Oklahoma. This is where the rugged American cowboy entered the folklore and fabric of our country, where men were as tough as the challenges before them. That maverick spirit, that sense of curiosity and purpose, is alive and well — so saddle up, cowboy.

“Oh, give me a home where the Buffalo roam, where the Deer and the Antelope play; where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the sky is not cloudy all day.”

There’s something to be said about losing yourself in a view, in looking out ahead of you and being able to point to where the ground or water exactly meets the sky. Clouds above, earth below and a hundred miles of adventure stretched out in between. Find your bliss, here in the wide open spaces of Oklahoma.

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”

A family road trip is a time-honored tradition marked with smiles and silliness, wrapped in togetherness and exploration. You may not realize it in the moment, but it’s experiences like these you’ll cherish for years to come. Packing the car and hitting the road means wandering and wondering together, and that’s what life is all about.

Food and memories go hand in hand. Whether made by your grandmother or by the hands of a local chef, a great meal draws people together in a way that nothing else can. Come see how down-home cooking meets the simply divine on Adventure Road. If the way to your heart truly is through your stomach, then get ready to fall in love.

“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

— Marcel Proust, French novelist

Creativity is available wherever you turn. You can see it in the smooth brush strokes of a modern masterpiece, feel it in the beveled surface of a piece of blown glass and sense it in the bold graphics of a mural on a city street. Let the Oklahoma highway and the destinations therein deliver you to a point of inspiration.

Now’s the time to close your eyes and calm your nerves, to experience the joy in the stillness of a moment. Grab the girls for a weekend away and revel in the simplicity of an afternoon shopping trip, a glass of locally bottled wine or an evening at the theater. Adventure doesn’t have to be fast-paced.

“Happiness, not in another place but this place … not for another hour, but this hour.”

When the opportunity for a weekend away with the guys presents itself, you seize it, no holds barred. Bust out the clubs, grab the bait and hit Adventure Road, where the waters are teeming with potential catches and the greens are true to their name. Get lost for a few days, doing exactly what you want without a second thought.
