Wichita Mountains Scenic Byway (OK-49)
OK-49 forms the roughly 20-mile core of the Wichita Mountains loop near Lawton, crossing the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge where bison, elk, and longhorn range freely and sometimes stand on the road. The spiral road up Mount Scott and the Meers Store are the signature stops.
