About this Event

**** NO REFUNDS within 7 days of the event unless cancelled due to weather ****

Join us for a two and a half hour guided hike with River Parks’ resident Turkey Mountain Expert and former professional archaeologist, Ryan Howell. The hike will include multiple stops to discuss Turkey Mountain’s role in the oil boom of Tulsa and touch on rumors of bigfoot, buried Spanish Gold, unsolved murders, and Vikings. We will also talk about Turkey Mountain’s future and a Master Plan to restore the ecology of the area and make the trails more sustainable. You’ll learn more about Turkey than you ever wanted to know!

This hike can be strenuous in places and is NOT recommended for people with mobility issues or children under 14. The hike will last about 2 and 1/2 hours. If you cannot walk for 2.5 miles and stay on your feet for most of that time, this tour will be extremely difficult for you.

Limit of 4 tickets per order. We can only have about 12 people in each group hike so tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance. NO TICKETS will be sold the day of or onsite.

**** NO REFUNDS within 7 days of the event unless cancelled due to weather **** ****

In case of inclement weather, we will move the hike day and issue refunds for those who can't make it on the alternative date.
