As we move north we take our time to see the sites of the areas we travel through. Sometimes there is not much to offer on the freeway so we venture off the fast lane and find the hidden gems in that region. Hard as it is to believe the northern part of Oklahoma has some amazing vista with sweeping sand dunes and mesa's with views that stretch for miles. Gloss Mountain, so named for the shinny appearance of the mesa's due to the selenite content. The area is rich in minerals including copper, salt and spar giving the valley floor and eroded landscape colors ranging from deep rust to white and blushes streaks of gypsum. What a pleasant surprise.
