One of the world’s most famous highways, Route 66 has its longest uninterrupted stretch of road in Oklahoma. A number of professional sports teams also call Oklahoma home, and catching a game is a great way to get into the local spirit - whether you’re topping off the experience with some indulgent barbecue or a taste of Oklahoma City’s wealth of Vietnamese cuisine. Cultural influences from western ranchers, southern settlers, and nearly 70 Native American tribes sit alongside one another here, and music, dance, and theatre thrive in the state’s major cities of Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Bartlesville - check out the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa in its grand Italianate surroundings. Between them, you’ll find the Cross Timbers - a beautiful expanse made up of Bison-dotted prairie and woodland.īut Oklahoma is more than beautiful views - it’s a state rich in history, culture, and industry. Ancient mountain ranges of the Ozarks and the Ouachitas sit to the east, while, in the west, amber waves of grain fade off into the horizon of The Great Plains. Home to a stretch of world-famous Route 66, the state of Oklahoma sits in the center of America’s heartland with a vast and varied landscape.
