The girls liked the telescopes... One didn't work. There zero people at the park and several on the trails on the day we went. I was sad to see Porta potties ...but they were clean so there's that. Also Porta potties don't have sanitizer in them .... Unfortunate Will try to get out here again sometime... The girls loved the time spent. Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

I came here on September 17th and just now getting around to writing this. I'm an avid hiker and…read morelove the outdoors. It's been tough the last few months due to the over 100 degree days in a row. I lived in Las Vegas for years and when it hit the hundreds I would drive an hour away to Mt Charleston and hike their many trails and the temperature would be around 25 degrees lower. Unfortunately not a place to do this in Oklahoma that I've found yet. Anyway , this was my first time in Edmond and I had read before about this place in nearby OKC. The one thing that worried me was all the comments about the ticks. I hate ticks ! I decided to go anyway , since I was here and of course my spray that I have for ticks and bugs I left at home , I usually have in my backpack that I keep in my truck. Parking lot was good size and had a couple of port o johns. I talked to a fellow patron and he said he's been pretty lucky about not getting ticks and he does the trails often. I have a military like hat I use for hikes and it has a pull out flap that covers your neck , so I put it on and pulled up my socks. A few steps away from the parking lot is a Ranger Station / Visitor Center. They have a small display , but it is pretty good. Some live animals like turtles swimming , snakes , etc. They have a cool display of different insects and an interactive area with a racoon , owl , and such that you push a button to hear them make their noises. The Ranger was there telling some kids and parents about some animals and such. I was told he is very friendly and helpful. They also have several taxidermy animals like a armadillo , skunk , and a racoons eating cracker jacks. There are lots of trees for coverage from the sun. A lookout deck over a pond filled with turtles sunbathing on platforms. I saw a crane also in the water and a large bird flying above like a hawk or buzzard in the distance. They have several short trails and I'm used to doing much longer ones like 8 or 9 miles , these are like 1 or 2 miles. As I started the first one I met up with a couple of deer. A doe and a fawn. The fawn go a little close to me then walked away then the doe came up to me about 6 feet away. I guess some people may be feeding them and that's why they got so close to a human. I came up to another observation deck with a bunch of stairs you can climb up to. There was a couple people on it. I only did 2 short trails due to how hot it was. I would like to come back again when it is cooler. When I got back to the parking lot I took off my hat and checked it for ticks , took off my shirt and did the same , checked my shoes and laces and socks. No ticks thankfully. I will definitely bring my spray next time. I would hate to get bitten by the ones that will make you no longer able to eat meat without getting sick. That would be terrible since I love bbq , fried chicken , and a good steak. I thought Rocky Mounted Spotted Fever was bad , but dang !

The trail is wonderful year-round and features both bike paths and pollinator-friendly gardens.

If you prefer a quieter experience, I recommend visiting on weekdays to avoid the crowds.

I discovered Gloss Mountain State Park by driving Highway 412 through Oklahoma. It's a roadside…read morestop that can't be missed. And what stands out about the park are the red and green tones of the surrounding landscape. I had a few extra hours to spare and was intrigued by the colorful valley that I never expected to find traveling the flat plains of Oklahoma. The closest town to Gloss Mountain is Fairview, OK, about 13 miles from downtown. Arriving here, there is no entrance fee. There is no park ranger. It's come and go as you please. Hours are from dawn till dusk every day. There was actually a sign on the entrance gate saying they lock up at 9pm, so maybe keep that in mind because in this part of Oklahoma during summertime, the sun doesn't set till pretty late. Exploring Gloss Mountain is simple and can take 1 hour or up to a few hours to explore depending how detailed a hiker you are. After entering the park, leave your car in the lot and then there's a hiking trail for you to take. It's called Cathedral Mountain Trail leading you directly to the summit plateau of Gloss Mountain. It's 1.2 miles in total including a 150 step climb. The hike is not hard and along the way up there are a few benches to sit down on and take a rest, or look down on the sights below. The views from high above Gloss Mountain are the big highlight. I was really surprised by the scenery. To have this type of rugged setting with red and green colors took me by surprise. You'd never expect it out of anywhere in Oklahoma. Maybe further west if you were randomly guessing on a map, but overall, the overlooks were pleasant. And once at the mesa top, you can follow the pathway around at your own leisure. It's a circular walk covering most of Gloss Mountain. Because...there's a back section to the summit and you're afforded 360 degree panoramas of the terrain. Also, there was a particular plateau called Lone Peak Mountain, that had an impressive appearance in the distance. Eventually the trails ends at a chained fence but you have another opportunity to sit down on a bench and breathe in some fresh Oklahoma air. And if you're following the trail around, you finish things looking at the eastern part of Gloss Mountain. This area had more of a flat, farmland setting. Still, you can always cross back over to the west side which had the better images. Finally, heading down the mountain takes a few minutes. Before returning to your car and back out on Highway 412, there's a short paved path leading to a plaque honoring Gloss Mountain as an official Oklahoma State Park. It's a good last minute photo opp combining the shrine monument and Oklahoma's state flag waving in the background together. Some extra things to say... - There are vault toilets in the parking lot including a random soda machine. - For mid June at 4pm, it was 105 degrees outside and pretty unbearable temperatures. But you just have to mentally block out the heat from your mind, a task easier said than done. - It was windy at the top of Gloss Mountain. I struggled to use my camera stand and had to stop being so obsessed with picture taking and just enjoy nature. - You can pick up a park brochure next to the front entrance which gives an introduction into what you can expect from a visit. Overall, Gloss Mountain State Park was scenic for being such a random roadside pullover off Highway 412 in the middle of Oklahoma. The red and green vista point perspectives provide guests with that special sightseeing factor. In the end, it made the decision for me to stop here and explore for a little while, a rewarding one.
