: The Glass Mountains are a series of low Mesas in Major County, Oklahoma , stretching west along US Highway 412 from Orienta . The name comes from the sparkling Selenite crystals on the slopes. In 1875, a transcription error by a mapmaker resulted in the name ''Gloss Mountains'' which is still a somewhat common name for the mountains. The state of Oklahoma operates a state park six miles west of Orienta. An improved path aids climbers to the top of a mesa. Picnic tables have been installed. A pond known as Rattlesnake Lake is nearby. EXTERNAL LINKS |
