LOCATION: Southwestern Oklahoma (near
Lawton/Ft. Sill) Wichita Mountains National
Wildlife Refuge is a nature photographer's oasis. Nestled among
huge and colorful massive granite boulders; pinion pines and scrub
oaks, this mountainous area is believed to be more than 650 million
years old. You will find wildlife in their own natural settings.
Bison, antelope, elk, deer and longhorn cattle are among the residents
of this 60,000 acre preserve. |

Once
hunted to near extinction, the American Bison roams and grazes freely
at Wichita Mountain NWR.
The
refuge also houses an extensive Visitor Center, where you will enjoy
a wealth of information about the history of this special place
and the many species of wildlife, birds and plants that call the
refuge "home."
