For one of the more cultural adventures that you can undertake whilst in Tulsa, drive out to the Cherokee Nation capital of Tahlequah. The city is steeped in cultural history — to learn more, visit the Cherokee National Supreme Court Museum that exists in what once was, as the name suggests, the Cherokee National Supreme Court. Sidenote: the building itself is said to be the oldest in Oklahoma.

For those with an affection for the outdoors or simply for those looking to briefly escape the pace of inner-city exploration, the Turkey Mountain wilderness area stands as a place to take note of. Hike the forested hills for a change of scenery from downtown Tulsa.

As with any adventure, there simply cannot be enough emphasis placed on taking a few moments to just stand and appreciate the atmosphere that surrounds you. Tulsa is alive with culture, creation, life — take a moment to simply absorb it.
