TEXAS TO OKLAHOMA: A Roadtrip on ROUTE 66 through Elk City to Oklahoma City

Join the road trip through three states in the South Central region of the USA: through New Mexico, Texas, all the way to vibrant and buzzing Oklahoma City.
There is the saying that the most promising words ever written on the maps of human knowledge are terra incognita, unknown territory. Traversing from New Mexico to the wide Plains of Texas for me was exactly this: unknown territory, the promise, of a new adventure, of places that I had never visited before.
Here are the Highlights of my roadtrip from New Mexico to Texas and Oklahoma:
00:00 Leaving the mountains of New Mexico heading direction Texas, you will encounter a lot of beautiful wide plains.
01:09 Stop at the village of Cimarron. The town has the motto „Where the West is still wild“ and you can do a self guided historic walk if you bring a bit of time. The historic sites like the Old Mill Museum or Old Jail are dating back to the mid 1800s. Make sure to not miss out on visiting ST. James Hotel: The 43 rooms were witnesses to at least 26 murders during Cimarron's wilder days. Clay Allison, Black Jack Ketchum and Buffalo Bill Cody have all left their mark - you can still see numerous bullet holes in the tin ceiling of the main dining room.
04:09 Cross into Texas in style
04:43 Find a motel in the middle of nowhere and drive through the local towns - this part of the fun of a roadtrip!
07:49 Visit Elk city, drive on the hirstoric Route 66 and visit the National Route 66 & Transportation Museum to experience the history and heritage of Route 66. The Elk City Museum Complex consists of 5 unique museums. Get a glimpse into the lives of early settlers in Western Oklahoma at the Old City museum and the Farm and Ranch Museum and visit the replicas of an schoolhouse, opera house, doctor’s office and chapel, and experience the pioneer history.
09:29 Stop for a night and some sighseeing in Oklahoma City
10:44 A must visit in Oklahoma City is the Myriad Botanical Gardens & Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory. The park will transport you to a lush paradise. Open to the public since 1988, the Myriad Botanical Gardens have continually provided a gathering place and oasis from the busy city life.
11:44 Don't miss out on Oklahoma City's buzzing art scene! Visit the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and enjoy the permanent collection that is presented in a quite joyful way: artworks by contemporary artists like Kehinde Wiley face icons like Renoir. But I was most fascinated by the exhibition of Dale Chihuly. The Museum’s collection represents over three decades of Chihuly’s work, is one of the largest collections of Chihuly glass in the world, and heralds this brilliant luminist as one of the most important artist working in glass.
12:34 Oklahoma City is a good place to take care of your vehicles if you do a longer roadtrip. It's big enough to have some really good workshops - so I took my chance and changed my rear tire.

    I've lived in and around OKC my entire life. Thank you for the positive review. While I wouldn't describe my city as a "hot spot" necessarily, it has certainly made huge strides over the past twenty years to become more of a major city. It's done many things right (but OMG the traffic has gotten so insane).

Also, I was interested by your enthusiastic entry into Texas. I’ve visited Texas several times and am always happiest when I get to leave. And, yes, Rt. 66 is iconic, but there isn’t much of the original scenery left, I’m afraid.

    I'm from OKC and still here. Regarding Route 66's "original scenery"-- a few years ago, in the west central part of OKC (on the old Rt 66) was a huge "66 Bowl" markee in front of the bowling alley that had been there for decades. When the bowling alley went under, the sign was still up, but what happened? It was soon dismantled and the property was turned into an ethnic eatery that offers not a single nod to the property's famed history. Sad.

I do hope you were able to spend some time in the Ozarks and see how rich those hills are in tradition and natural beauty. There are so many great motorcycle roads in Arkansas, both paved and unpaved. Historic Route 66 in Oklahoma is filled with such a great legacy of vehicular travel and Oklahoma has preserved a large amount of that history. Terra Incognita indeed. Safe travels.

If the botanic gardens are based on Central Park then it means their true roots are here in the UK, as Central Park was based on Birkenhead Park. Designed by Joseph Paxton and opened in 1847 it is considered by many to be the world's first public park. Another fascinating and beautiful episode in your journey - thanks for sharing

    Hello. This is the 2nd video I have seen of yours & enjoyed it. The 1st video is the Tail of the Dragon. I live in South Okc next to Moore, Ok. I grew up in Moore. My husband owns a Harley & he loves riding. He's been riding since he was a teenager & now he's in his 50's. He loves doing "Poker Runs". Since we have been together, we have only taken one road trip. Down to Medicine Park, Ok. (Cool place!) They had some sort of bike rally there that day. And we rode over to Meers, Ok to eat at a restaurant & had burgers & fried peaches for dessert. They raise their own long horned beef for the meat at the restaurant. (I can't remember name of restaurant now. Locals would probably know if you ask them. Or google it). We also went up Mt. Scott in Wichita Wildlife Refuge. Watching this video brought back some memories. Back in the 80's, my cousins used to live in Pampa, Tx & we visited them many times. Been in & through Elk City many times. Been in Del City so many times, I've lost count. I subscribed to your channel so I can watch more of your adventures. 💛🏍🙂👍💛

    Glad you liked your visit to OKC, Now the whole Metro area is something to see with the numerous amount of unique museums some are must visits, One of the nations top Zoo's. Also the metro area has a great amount of history of the countries First Americans and how Central Oklahoma opened up the West. Some just random off the wall things you find in the Metro area like Guthrie Oklahoma having the nations smallest National Park 10x10 patch of grass with a tree. So much OKC and the Metro area has to offer someone visiting the great city. Anyone I know tells me they are bored I look at them and say Come on lets go! Now for the Texas Panhandle and WEstern Oklahoma you missed a whole of things. Amarillo, Canyon Texas area has a lot to offer visitors and road side attractions. Like Palo Duro Canyon, Where Texas The musical debuts each summer, Caddilac Ranch just outside of Amarillo, The Big Texan also in Amarillo. Also those pick up trucks you mentioned in Pampa those drivers of those vehichles were most likely Oil Field workers who start their day during the pre dawn hours. Hope you enjoy your adventure road trip. looks like you are having alot of fun.

    I rode through OK for the first time about a month ago, and just did it again last week. Last month was my first time riding though OKC and Tulsa. Last week I, like you, accidentally came across the giant Route 66 sign in Elk City. OKC is a fsr more interesting city than I anticipated. You went to the Museum of Art, but I stopped into the Contemporary Art museum while there - it's also pretty good. I'm glad you found a dealer that didn't mind changing your tire despite having a different brand of bike than they carry (my local shop won't even touch the wheels of my bike even if bring them separately. Don't ever be ashamed or allow someone to shane you for your riding geared-up. The vast majority of people in the US who ride only do so recreationally for short trips. You went through the same states I did, too! NM to TX to OK to AR...(except you didn't go to Louisiana). Ride safe.

    This brought back a lot of memories. I was a brand new field landman in the late 1970’s and lived in Edmond and OKC. I was on the road mostly though during the week and stayed at the Quality Inn in Elk City. I remember all of those towns along old 66 (now I-40) in western Oklahoma. We drove up to Cheyenne and worked in the courthouse there checking records during the day. After work we would race to the Flamingo Motel in Elk City and try to grab a slice of their delicious German chocolate cake. At night I would often swing West to Sayre and have a steak or jumbo fried shrimp at a restaurant there whose name I have forgotten. We acquired oil and gas leases from many farmers and others. The wells that were drilled on those Leases are still producing over forty years later.

    Thank you for your excellently done videos.. it is refreshing to get another's take on the scenery and attractions you encounter ..some, but not all of us who have lived in the U.S.A. all our lives sometimes take for granted these wonders and will not get to see because they are always here!... we will say "I will go to see them" and never "take" the opportunity to ever do so.....

    Loved your video and the music accompaniment! I live north of OKC and thought you did a wonderful job of seeing and describing the sights and sounds of OKC. You are correct, the techs in Del City don't see very many cross country riders! If you had gone to a Honda / Suzuki dealer / mechanic on the outskirts of town, they would have been more familiar with that type of riding. Great job and drive safe!

    Great video! I really like the drone footage you incorporate into this video. Your recording equipment, editing, graphics, commentary and music make your videos a pleasure to watch. Since you asked for comments, I live in North Texas. In this video you traveled through what we call the "Texas panhandle". You took a short cut through Texas on your way to OKC. Texas is a very large State, I'm sure you know that. You have the right Bike to ride through the "Big Bend State Park", "Guadalupe Mountains National Park", " Palo Duro Canyon State Park", and "Caprock Canyons State Park". If you like tall trees there is some nice riding in East Texas. Also, what we call the "Texas Hill Country" west of Austin and northwest of San Antonio, is very nice riding. Keep the shiny side up, and keep up the good moto-videos!

    Some ideas come back when we "live" in New Mexico,... "You're gonna be okay "... "The road", some chords came from the exhaust, some waves, just one song among many on a long, very long road trip, just a sea full of emotions, adventure and dreams... land of legends.... Heavy Horses ​, "Anyone can tell ". The city and museums can find and tell many of the historical events. Anything can happen, like changing old tires for new ones. Clouds of notes echo in "Only the winds". Stunning landscapes take you to the next level, it's stunning and impossible to forget....

    You are right, Lea. Online Booking systems changed the way of traveling. Instead of searching for rooms for hours you just drive where you want and at the moment you know how many more kilometers you will do, you can start looking for a proper room. I do also love the views of long straight roads. ❤️Stefan

    Texas is an amazing state where you can find all types of riding. You were fairly close to Palo Duro Canyon. We have the Guadalupe Mountains, the River Road Highway (170) which has some amazing twists and turns plus awesome views and a slot canyon or two, Big Bend National Park, the Three Twisted Sisters, plus the beaches and piney woods on the eastern side. It would make a series in itself to do Texas justice with all we have to offer.

    Great video and great info. I just returned from riding from Southern Indiana to the Grand Canyon and back with my wife's uncle. We left on 9•17•21 and returned home 9•27•21. I rode my BMW G650GS and he was on his BMW F800GS taking State Highway 50 out. Then tried to stay on Route 66 for the return ride home. ( 3,820 miles round trip,,,, my first ever moto camping trip and longest ever moto trip ) That didn't work out to well though as I-40 pretty much swallows up Route 66. We did hit Winslow, AZ as I had to go STAND ON THE CORNER and get my Pic taken there. Then we went to Cadilac Ranch also. Was my first time in TX and OK . Yea Haw Y'all I too took my drone along. But, the winds were ravishing. I didn't even get it out of the case. Stay safe out there young lady.
