Oklahoma Vacations, Oklahoma Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

The land where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain might have the most unique history in all of America.

Originally planned to be two different states (Oklahoma for the whites; Sequoyah for the Indians), the territory was fused into one and reached statehood in 1907. Celebrating its centennial in 2007, Oklahoma has a storied past and a bright future. Most people only think that Oklahoma has dusty plains, indians and teepees and cowboys and cows, but it's so much more than that. Did you know that Oklahoma has 11 different eco-regions? That's the most in the country after California.

It's the people of this great state that make Oklahoma what it is. Friendly and warm with a smile to spare, Oklahomans are known for their openness and hospitality. There's a lot to see and do here, from exploring the forests of Beaver's Bend State Park in far southeastern Oklahoma, to walking the sand dunes (yes, really) of Little Sahara in the northwest part of the state. And the capital city of Oklahoma City and the second city of Tulsa provide more than enough of the big-city trappings to keep you busy. Norman is home to the University of Oklahoma and its top football team.

Oklahoma is one of those states that tends to get overlooked -- but it shouldn't. There's a lot to see and do here (how about driving the longest remaining section of Route 66?), so coming to the last frontier of the Great Plains is definitely worth your while.
