Roman Nose State Park, named after a Cheyenne chief, is one of the original seven Oklahoma state parks. Once a winter campground of the Cheyenne tribe, this area now is a scenic retreat set on a canyon bluff that over-looks ancient mesas. Towering cedar, buffalo grass and wild blue sage add to the beauty of this legendary setting, and to the enjoyment of the many recreational activities.

Roman Nose State Park in Watonga, Oklahoma. Looking beyond the fence, the
view from the RV was a small lake with paddle boats. |

Below: The Two RV Gypsies have been told by many people
that the best view in the park is from Inspiration Point. However, the Two
RV Gypsies learned that it was a long hike up to Inspiration Point. Lee
Duquette did NOT want to take that hike.
So, they took a walk on the easy trail directly behind the fence near their
RV. Actually, they spent more time taking photos than they did walking.
Due to the heat, they were back at their RV within half-an-hour. |

| Below: The Two RV Gypsies drove around Roman Nose State Park
looking for the swimming pool area. There was a handicap ramp down to this
area, and there were several picnic tables. They found the pool, but first
they came across the Big Spring area and got a glimpse of a waterfall. |
|
|
| Below: Lee Duquette crossed the wooden bridge
to get a closer look at the waterfall. |
|
|
| Below: As the Two RV Gypsies got closer to
the waterfall, they saw a cave. |
|
|
| Below: Children were wading in the icy water and they ventured
into the cave. The Two RV Gypsies did not enter the water nor the cave.
It was 103 degrees out and Karen Duquette wished she had on water shoes
so she could wade in the water too. As usual, Lee Duquette said the water
was too cold for him. |
|
|
|
| Below: Walking a bit further up the path the Two RV Gypsies
came across an area called the Three Springs Area. Lee Duquette
leaned over to feel the icy cold water. Good thing he did not fall in. |

| Below: The two RV Gypsies walked back to the wooden bridge,
and walked through the grass to see the swimming pool, which was closed.
There were a lot of annoying flying grasshoppers in the area. |
