Default Oklahoma

The western half of the state is flat. No trees, just flat and open. the eastern half has lots of trees and greenery and is hilly, especially the south eastern corner. If you want nice rolling hills and trees that turn in the fall then stick with the southeast part. There's a couple of lakes that are nice, lake Eufaula and Grand lake at Grove. The state is really totally different from the north west to the south east....there's no comparison. Do a google search on "talimena drive". That's a stretch of road through the mountains in the southeast corner that draws a lot of people in the fall when the leaves are turning, it will give you an idea of what it's like in that part.

Well, you're partially right. Not that many trees, except in towns and along creek beds and fencerows. But flat... not necessarily. Extreme SW Oklahoma is flat but much of the western part of the state, like along I-40, consists of low rolling hills. Pretty countryside. And, don't forget the Wichita Mts, just west of Lawton. Really awesome place

Some places in OK are a little prettier and more progressive than Duncan, but overall I just think "Oklahoma. Meh."
I'm sorry you feel like that. I've lived all over this country, from NE to SW, and found that Okies were by far the friendliest (and the most generous) people anywhere. I'd move back there in a heartbeat if there was a job opportunity for me.

Okie Amazon is on a distinguished road
We have been doing a LOT of looking at smaller towns lately, wanting to move out of Oklahoma City. Pauls Valley is just about the prettiest place we've found. Huge park with lots of tennis courts, rose gardens, big round-up club (if you like horses and rodeo), very quaint main street. the whole town seems very well kept up, yards landscaped, good maintenance, etc. Another place we really like is Tishomingo in SE OK. Murray State college is located there.

nobody has yet to mention norman -- my personal favorite because of its college town atmosphere, relatively liberal-thinking population, cultural and religious diversity. there are some pretty parks and beautiful neighborhoods that come alive in the spring. plus tons of great festivals and fairs all year long.

Default Best part of OK

The prettiest place in OK is the east and southeast part of the state. Poteau OK is a great little town. I moved here from NJ about twenty five years ago. I live north of Wister[eight miles from Poteau]. The weather is great, some hot days in the summer, but you get used to it. As mentioned, Talimena drive is a tourists delight, especially in the fall. I have mountains surrounding me and it is a beautiful drive through the mountains from here to the Texas border through Broken Bow about 100 miles south. Just Google Poteau. Hope this helps.
Frank
PS--I am in the Mustang and Cougar restoration business and it allows me to travel all over the country looking for, picking up after buying on the Internet and delivering cars. I have never found a prettier place in all my travels. I have been to all but seven states in the continental US. Colorado and South Dakota have some great scenery, but I bet that this area will match it and it is warmer in the winter.
