We Summited the Highest Peak in Oklahoma, Black Mesa | Adventure Travel Vlog
Summiting the highest peak in all of Oklahoma is no laughing matter. This trip was filled with a roller coaster of emotions ranging from terror to joy; anger and excitement. Few people have ever summited Black Mesa in northwestern Oklahoma and for good reason. We are here to tell the tale.
We weren't sure what to expect after planning on this trek for the last 14 hours but it was truly an experience. Black Mesa juts out of the earth at a sky piercing 60 stories. The approach to this peak requires passage of the infamous 'Panhandle Pass' passing through small villages such as 'Slapout' and 'Hooker'. Just the approach is enough to turn the average man back to where he came from.

What a beautiful day for a hike to the top of Black Mesa - the highest point in Oklahoma! The first 2 miles are pretty flat - THEN YOU GO UP...and UP for about a mile! Then another mile of flat top the high point. Lovely views and some friendly cows! :)

Black Mesa State Park
On July 13, 2013 I took a road trip to Boise City and then on to the Black Mesa State Park. I had been there the same weekend after July the 4th of 2012 and the lake was almost completely dry. This spring there have been some good rains in the area and the runoff has put a lot of water into the lake. Being a state park, the lake is stocked with trout when the water level warrants it. It is a very scenic area more like New Mexico than Oklahoma. There is another area of interest at the Black Mesa summit, north of Kenton but I will save that for another video. Thanks for watching.

Oklahoma State Highpoint - Black Mesa
Olivia and I finished our highpointing trip at Black Mesa in far Western Oklahoma. I show you around the nearby state park campground and the next morning we hike the highpoint. We had a good time. A nice way to end our roadtrip. And we even spot an animal that I've only ever seen one time before in my life!

01 seconds: a Cat is at center of screen running to the left.
07 seconds: Girl says the phase “all over there”. Upon the word “there” one cat enters from the left side of the screen and disappears behind the cottonwood.
08 seconds – 11 seconds: A second cat emerges from behind that same cottonwood heading towards the tree-line by the Cimarron.
12 seconds: the camera pans back to the left and captures the cat seen at the beginning of the video, now running between the two cottonwoods.
Pictures While Hiking Black Mesa Summit Oklahoma
Black Mesa Summit is located in the far Western part of the Oklahoman Panhandle. It is about a 4.2 mile hike. Suggestions not to hike this if it is over 80 degrees. Bring plenty of water. Wear good hiking boots or shoes. It is very rocky trail. Suntan lotion. Bug spray for your legs. Walking sticks help and you may want to wear a hat. Only one part is steep. I had to take several breaks. But I am almost 70. Have fun looking at the beautiful scenery... Sorry realized I had a couple of duplicates pictures....
