Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

Cathedral Mountain, a butte in Gloss Mountain State Park, rises above an unnamed dry creek bed. The park near Fairview, in northwest Oklahoma, is located in the Gloss Mountains (sometimes referred to as the Glass Mountains) which sparkle in sunlight because the are rich in selenite crystals, a form of the mineral, gypsum. Gypsum leaching out of the ground can be seen in the white ring around the top of Cathedral Mountain. This ring is most visible when the ground is damp. The state park, open from sunrise to sunset offers hiking trails and picnic areas. There is no camping. As sign warns hikers of the presence of rattlesnakes.
