Gloss Mountain State Park, State park in Fairview, Oklahoma, US
The Gloss Mountain State Park extends across elevated mesas and flatlands, featuring red soil formations topped with white gypsum and selenite crystals.
The park, established in 1997, preserves a section of the ancient geological formations that Native Americans used as landmarks for navigation across Oklahoma.
Local residents gather at Cathedral Mountain trail to observe seasonal wildlife migrations, including eagles and buzzards passing through the region.
Visitors can access restrooms, pavilions, picnic areas, grills, and water facilities from sunrise to sunset without paying an entrance fee.
The selenite crystal content in the mountains creates a glass-like shimmer effect when sunlight reflects off their surfaces throughout the day.
