(1) Tallgrass Pairie (north of Pawhuska) A 35,000 acre ranch with 2,500 bison managed by the Nature Conservancy. The biggest remaining remnant of tall-grass prairie in the US. (2) Talimena Scenic Drive. Similar to the Blue Ridge Parkway, a 50 mile car drive across the tops of wooded mountains with lots of lakes, hiking, etc. (3) Wichita Mountains.
