Skiatook Lake & Tulsa Botanic Garden Hike

This should be a really fun one. We'll hike three trails at Skiatook Lake before heading to the Tulsa Botanic Garden on our way back to the city. First, we'll meet at the Stay Gold sunset Loop inside the Osage Park Recreation Area of Skiatook Lake. The trail is 1.2 miles and is considered easy. This trail will also pass by the lakeside bluffs that are known for cliff jumping. Next, we'll drive south to near the Skiatook Lake Dam to see the Healing Rock. That hike is only 0.3 miles and is also considered easy. Then, we'll drop south yet again to near the CrossTimbers Marina to hike the Moss Ridge Trail, which passes through some post-oak-forested areas and behind some gorgeous lake houses, offering some nice views of the lake in the process. This trail is 2.8 miles and contains the most uphill sections of the three hikes we'll be doing at Skiatook Lake. That being said, it's not a terribly difficult hike. After that, those who want to stick around will follow me south to see the stunning Tulsa Botanic Garden. Admission is only $15, and from what I've read, the beauty is worth every penny. I've linked the Tulsa Botanic Garden's website below for anyone who wants to know more about it. See you all soon!
