Gloss Mountain State Park

Gloss Mountain State Park Rising out of flat surroundings, the Gloss Mountains are a true Oklahoma treasure! The northern most butte, named Lone Peak, is the highest.

The Park is maintained in natural habitat and open daily - dawn to dusk (no overnight accommodations) - for nature lovers and adventure seekers. If you are into hiking, climbing, and exploring, a trail and stairway system is in place at Gloss Mountain State Park. You may hike from the lower parking lot and picnic area to the top of Cathedral Mountain. From the south rim of Cathedral Mountain, you

can follow the trail north to view Lone Peak and observe the scenic view in every direction. Cathedral Mountain Trail from the starting point to the north rim and return is 1.2 miles in length. Points of Interest: Cheyenne Valley and the Gloss Mountain range to the west, the Cimarron River to the north, working oil pump jacks, numerous ponds, rock formations, wildlife, and a view that never ends. Basic Information: The Gloss Mountains consist of buttes which rise from 50 to 175 feet above the valley floor.

There's something peaceful about late summer at Gloss Mountain.

The prairie is beginning to take on its golden colors, the days are just a little shorter, and the wide-open views seem to stretch even farther.

Sometimes the best way to recharge is simply spending an hour outdoors.

We hope to see you on the trail soon.
