Rising dramatically from the flat Oklahoma prairie, the Wichita Mountains are an ancient island of granite that feels more like Africa than the Great Plains. The wildlife refuge protects free-roaming herds of bison, longhorn cattle, and elk against a backdrop of rounded granite peaks and boulder-strewn grasslands. Backcountry roads wind through the refuge past prairie dog towns and grazing herds to panoramic overlooks.
