Oklahoma offers destinations beyond the well-traveled routes. The state holds a biblical city replica built into a hillside, a roadside blue whale large enough to climb, a Western museum with roaming bison and elk, and a park filled with hand-carved totem poles. Natural formations add depth to this list, including caverns lined with alabaster, red-rock canyons, waterfalls, and thermal springs. Some parks preserve sand dunes, forests, and lakes that provide space for hiking and water recreation. The region's history appears in frontier forts, homes of settlers and oil barons, and museums dedicated to the indigenous nations of the area. The collection includes galleries of Western and Native American art, natural history exhibits with fossil discoveries, and a museum holding the largest private arms collection in the country. Architectural examples range from preserved Victorian mansions to a 1950s tower now serving as an arts center.
