Are you a spontaneous or detailed trip planner? Oklahoma tourism site can help with either
How much do you plan ahead of time for a day trip? How impulsive are you when it comes to taking a quick vacation, even if it's only a few miles away?
For example, you wake up on a Saturday morning with no solid plans. You can go to TravelOK.com, and in the upper right side, you will see a heading for “Festivals & Events.” Once there you scroll down to “Events Search” and select a region or a city. Below that there is “Select a Date Range,” and after that you can select from 25 different types of events and festivals that interest you.
Some of those selections are season specific such as “Fall Festivals and Events,” or “Winter Holiday Events.” You can even select “Highway Corridors” to narrow the locations if you wish. But after everything has been selected, hit “Go” and several options will appear.
On the other hand, if you like to plan your trips down to all the details, Travelok.com has everything you need to make your dream vacation, extended weekend or day trip a reality.
This topic was brought up recently because between 8:20 to 8:30 a.m. every Friday on the radio station Magic 104.1 in Oklahoma City, I highlight two to five events taking place across central Oklahoma that upcoming weekend. The conversation began with some people who can be spontaneous and take a day trip or even extended vacation while others plan out every detail of a trip. By using the official website of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department, in my opinion, you can “plan” to be spontaneous or plan out as many details as you want!
Travelok.com has easy-to-use tools and comprehensive travel information so the website helps you find the perfect destination for your next adventure. Whether you're interested in a luxurious spa weekend or a peaceful retreat in the great outdoors, you can find it all on the website.
For those looking to explore Oklahoma's natural beauty, TravelOK.com has a wealth of information on state parks, hiking trails and outdoor activities.
Whether you're an experienced hiker or just looking for a leisurely stroll, the website can help you find the perfect trail. And with detailed information on each park, including hours, fees and amenities, you can plan your trip with ease.
You can always check out the Oklahoma Fishing Trail on TravelOK, along with “Things to do,” “Cities & Regions,” “Places to stay,” “Dining” and “State Parks.”
