September 2005 Trip to Red Rock Canyon State Park, in Western Oklahoma

In early September, I was able to take a trip to Red Rock Canyon, and got to see a lot of interesting scenery, plants, and animals.

The third largest Bur Oak in the state of Oklahoma.	A tree growing out of the sandstone canyon wall.
A boardwalk along the trail, horsetails, and red sandstone.	Part of the only native grove of Caddo Maple left in the world.
Sandstone along the California Road, which was the trail many '49ers took to CA for the gold rush.	Trail along the California Road.
Prickly Pear Cactus growing from the canyon wall.	A loose rock along the canyon wall.
Sign for the largest Boxelder tree in Oklahoma.	A wider view of the same tree.
Sunrise colors reflect from red sandstone into a pond.	A very red dragonfly.
