10 Most Beautiful Towns in Western Oklahoma

I love photographing the small towns of Oklahoma. This video is a list of my 10 most photogenic small towns in the Sooner State. I moved away 20-ish years ago, but when I return visit as many state parks and towns as I can.

If you have any suggestions on places I should visit, let me know in the comments.

I grew up in Oklahoma and was familiar with some of these towns. My favorite place in the world is the Wichita Wildlife Reserve. Thank you very much for sharing this. It brought back a lot of happy memories.

I grew up in Western Oklahoma, between Thomas and Putnam. I now live in Weatherford. I love a video where I have been in every town mentioned!!!

[chriscosby]

I have lived in Tulsa and OKC. I have always liked Woodward, it is a nice town. The dove hunting in NW Oklahoma was always great.

[JoeOklahoma]

Love that this wasnt just an AI voice + stolen images from Google. Great photography!!

[JermStone]

Great photography! Freedom getting #1 is deserving! I didn't even expect Woodward to be on the list!

You're doing an exceptional job compared to many other traveling posters. The production is sharp and concise. Thanks for your work. SOONERS ARE DIFFERENT.

My dad grew up in Waynoka, love going there when I can which isn’t often. My grandpa was a dishwasher at the Harvey house back in the day and a mechanic for Santa Fe railroad as an adult

I was born outside of Snyder but now live in Eastern Oklahoma. Current suggestion would be Idabel which was originally called Purnell when the town was platted in 1902.

I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing it. You are a great photographer.

Nice work. I like how you put a positive approach in your presentation. Try my home town of Altus if you haven't already.

Love the comments about Gage. Ran the marathon in the early 1980’s.
It was like going to another world!

I lived in Enid and for a brief time in Snyder when I was 10. I ran trains through Clinton, Cordell, Snyder, , Thomas and Waynoka. Clinton was the end of our run from Enid and we stayed in the Clancy hotel that you pictured to get our rest for the return trip. Also visited the Little Sahara several times for motorcycle riding in the winter. Why winter? Much more fun when the sand is wet and when you work up a sweat it's not because it's hot. I've never been to Beaver, Freedom or Medacine Park but Medacine Park looks like an intersting place to visit. There was one big rocky hill in Snyder my brother and I liked to play on when we lived there. We'd never seen anything like it being from Enid.

Thank you for stirring up those memories.

Thank you for this. I have been to Guthrie. Have you been inside the huge Masonic Temple, located on the hill that was reserved for the state Capitol? I was really impressed with the Wichita (Washeeta) Mountains.

[ShealynnKerns]

Im from Guthrie but now, ive in san Diego California i miss home

[Donley]
