Charons Garden 6 Peaks (OK)
Charons Garden is still a little known gem in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma. This epic loop route encompasses class III+ scrambling and backcountry route-finding to summit the "big 6" (tallest named 2,000' peaks) within the wilderness area. It is one of Oklahoma's best challenges! With 4,000' of elevation gain and over 11 miles of mixed terrain, this route is best done in the winter months to avoid heat, snakes, and overgrowth. Begin at the Sunset Parking Lot in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Ascend the standard trail up Elk Mountain.
