Oklahoma Travel OverviewMany people in the world associate Oklahoma City with a terriorist act; while others think of the state as a desolate and windswept depression-era landscape that's described in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. While the former is aware of it's past and celebrates the human sprit discovered from the tragic events of April 19; 1995; The latter is far from true now. There is a suprising amount to see and do in Oklahoma. With over 50 state parks and 2 National Historic sites; one National Battlefield in Washita a National park in Chickasaw; seven full-service resorts and 11 challenging golf courses; Oklahoma has a lot to offer year round. With over half a million people in the city and a metropolitan population of over 1.2 million; Oklahoma City is the biggest city in the state and is the state capital. Tulsa is the other urban center. Both cities offer all the excitement and amenities of other big cities; with lots of outdoor opportunities just around the corner. Bartlesville; just outside of Tulsa; is home to Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower which was the architect's only skyscraper. Change history
