Quartz Mountain

One of the main things about my blog is being "pseudo single" but sometimes I get to be "in a relationship." This past weekend was one of those times.

It was Chase and I's 5 year anniversary so we went on a little getaway. Let me start by saying, NO, he did not propose. Okay, got that out of the way. (I have only been asked like a million times)

Since we had just spent a lot of money on the holidays (gifts, food, alcohol) we wanted to do something economical. The last couple of years we just went and did the nice restaurant thing so we wanted to do something different, we wanted to get away. So that we did.

Quartz Mountain Resort! It is a beautiful lodge/resort right in the middle of the Wichita Mountains near Altus Oklahoma. It took us just about 2 hours to get there so it was the perfect spot to escape to. And because it is their off-season we got it super cheap. (Even cheaper than we thought because they forgot to charge us for some stuff. Score!)


The room was very nice and had a bit of a lodge feel to it which made it special.


The main area of the resort had a beautiful Christmas tree and fireplace.


We also brought some champagne to cheers our 5 wonderful years together!


The next day the weather was absolutely beautiful and ended up being perfect for hiking/mountain climbing.


We tackled some pretty serious mountains. (serious for Oklahoma anyways)




This is the resort from about half way up one of the mountains. So beautiful.


Then I made the mistake of looking down and my fear of heights kicked in. Had a little mini anxiety attack while crouching on the side of the mountain. Good times.

All in all it was a great romantic getaway. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you like the outdoors. Its pretty crazy to see these mountains in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma.
