Welcome to the mischievously marvelous and magically mysterious state of Oklahoma, home to the most adventurous kiddos one could ever meet! Nicknamed the "Sooner State," Oklahoma is a land filled with wild wonders and a hearty helping of history. Now, you've got to meet a gang of kids, the OK Hiking Heroes. They're not your ordinary bunch of hikers, oh no, they use their imaginations to bring their hikes to life! Now, the Hiking Heroes are led by none other than Freckles, a red-haired, beagle-eyed boy with a map always in his hands and a compass magically stuck to his freckled nose. Yes, you heard that right, a compass! It spins and twirls when they're close to a new discovery. And with every stride, they test their courage against the tall grass prairies, formidable forests, and mystical mountains of Oklahoma. From the robust Redbud trees that blush bright pink in the spring to the whispering winds weaving tales across the Great Plains, our heroes plunge into the uncharted wilderness, turning every hike into a rambunctious romp. They often bump into the state's woolly residents, the bison, who often join them for a cup of twig tea and a game of tumbleweed bowling. Yes, tumbleweed bowling! You'd be amazed at how competitive a bison can be. One thing is for sure, in Oklahoma, every hike is an epic adventure! So, if you ever spot a giggling gaggle of kids, with a freckled boy at the helm, brandishing a map like a mighty sword, well, you've just met the OK Hiking Heroes. And they might just be on their way to their next great discovery!
