About Gloss Mountain State Park

Gloss Mountain State Park sits about an hour west of Enid, near the small town of Fairview. Its mountains, also called the Glass Mountains, contain enough selenite to give their outer surfaces a shiny, glass-like look. The park has no lodging or campsites, but visitors can hike the Cathedral Mountain trail. The trail climbs from the parking lot to the top of the mountain and across its mesa, with wide views of the valley floor and Lone Peak Mountain. Facilities include a restroom, pavilions, picnic areas, grills, and drinking water. Nearby, Gloss Mountain Outfitters offers tent and RV camping, and the Newton Ranch offers horseback riding, hayrides, hiking, and fishing.
