I'd suggest if you want some good hiking and views that you visit the Ancient Forest instead.

After all the years we lived in and visited Tulsa, we'd never been to Redbud Nature Preserve and I…read moredon't know why. I'm so glad my sister invited us to tag along with her. It was a gorgeous place to explore! It's a fairly easy hike for kids. The trail goes from the parking lot and is about a mile (maybe less) and comes back to the parking lot. My kids won't normally walk this far on their own, but there is so much to see and so much variation on the trail that they never complained or asked "how much longer" - my kids are ages 5-13. There is some climbing around rocks to get through the trail, so little ones and the elderly will need help. Wear good shoes. There is a small nature center and bathrooms. We love this place and will happily go back in any season!

I visited Ray Harral Nature Center on a Sunday morning, and even though the nature center itself…read morewas closed, the trails made the trip completely worthwhile. I arrived around 9:30am and had plenty of parking, but by the time I left at about 10:50, the lot was completely full and cars were lining the road near the entrance , definitely a popular spot as the morning goes on. The trail system is easy to navigate. As you face the visitor center, trails branch off to both the right and left, and all of them connect with one another, making it impossible to get lost. The bridge is at the right side trail entrance. The paths are mostly easy with just a few small hills, perfect for a relaxed walk or a casual weekend outing. I looped around a couple of times and enjoyed how peaceful and shaded the area felt. Overall, Ray Harral is a great place for a simple, refreshing nature walk.

Turkey Mountain is one of those places that makes you forget you're still in the city. Every time I…read morevisit, I'm reminded how lucky Tulsa is to have a true urban wilderness with miles of trails, quiet pockets of nature, and plenty of room to explore. One thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to access the mountain thanks to three different parking lots: Lower Parking Lot (67th & Elwood) The most popular one, right at the base of the main trail system. Great if you want quick access to the Red, Blue, and Yellow trails. Upper Parking Lot (off Elwood, near the top) Perfect if you want a quieter start or prefer jumping straight into the mid mountain trails. West Side Parking Lot (off Highway 75 / 61st area) Aa lesser used entrance that gives you a totally different feel and connects you to some beautiful, less crowded routes. No matter where you start, the trails are well marked, varied, and offer everything from easy strolls to more challenging climbs. If you hike to The Sanctuary, you're rewarded with one of the most peaceful areas on the mountain. You'll come across several ponds, wildlife, and a tree house with bench style swings, one of the most unexpectedly delightful spots in Tulsa. It's the kind of place where you can sit, sway, and just breathe for a moment. Highly recommend spending a morning or evening out here. It's beautiful, accessible, and full of surprises.
