Oklahoma,
Also known as the Central Irregular Plains, this area of
Oklahomas Green Country houses many different activities for
group travel and relaxation. The Western Hills Guest Ranch and
adjoining Sequoia State Park is an ideal home base for those
seeking all the amenities of the modern world, but in a rustic,
peaceful setting. Horseback riding, lakeside vistas, and chuck
wagon cookouts are only a few of the highlights on a weekend or
weeklong long retreat at the ranch. Contact:

>From there, state parks abound, offering travelers everything
from Honor Heights Park, a haven of native greenery, to
Greenleaf State Parks hiking trails and shimmering shores.
Situated on a peninsula, the beautiful Sequoyah State Park
offers wonderful activity areas for outside recreation and is a
great place for lunch amid the rolling hills and scenic
woodlands. A Nature Center with an on-site naturalist educates
as well as entertains guests interested in the flora and fauna
of the area. For a directory of the vast Oklahoma state park

A great historical day trip is located in nearby Muskogee at
Five Civilized Tribes Museum and Center for Study of Indian
Territory. Here, groups can take tours of the area and learn

area took its name. Authentic arts and crafts, as well as
various other activities, are presented throughout the year. For

appreciation of western tranquility.
