This trip puts the fun in traveling from Dallas to Tulsa, with stops and quirky and eccentric attractions along the way. There's a little bit of history, a few amazing Instagramable locations, and dining that is both low- and highbrow. There's a vibe shift when you leave Texas and head towards Oklahoma and this trip nods to it.

The Katy Depot
Denison is known among North Texans as the last place to stop in Texas before you cross the Oklahoma border. The Katy Depot is a former train station downtown that hosts numerous businesses, including a coffee shop and a few boutiques. It's a picturesque place to explore.
The shops are closed on Sunday, but you can still explore the exterior.

Denison Food Truck Park
If you're feeling peckish, the food truck park is just around the corner from the Katy Depot. There's a rotating list of options that cover all the food truck basics.
Grab street tacos, barbecue nachos, and even turkey legs. The offerings vary week to week and seasonally, but there is always a wide variety of options.

Stringtown Shootout Memorial
Put Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's "Bonnie and Clyde" on as you pull up to this memorial where the dangerous duo killed the county deputy sheriff and wounded the sheriff in a shootout back in 1932. They wouldn't be caught for another year and a half, when they were ambushed in Louisiana.

Eufaula 3D Mural
It's almost like stepping into a mural from the TV show Parks & Recreation! This cool 3D mural makes everything around you come to life in a photo. And it's a great reason to stop in downtown Eufaula.

Blue Whale of Catoosa
Get your kicks on Route 66! Stop for a picture with the Blue Whale of Catoosa, easily the most famous attraction in Catoosa, Oklahoma. It's part of a great love story. The whale was built in the 1970s by Hugh Davis for his wife Zelta, who collected whale figurines. Now the pond and its whale are officially roadside attractions on one of the most famous routes in America.

SMOKE. Woodfire Grill
Eat Tulsa's finest at this spot that locally sources much of its food and displays works by local artists. The restaurant also has a hermetically-sealed cigar room you can enjoy before or after dining.
The kitchen serves up wood grilled dishes, including chicken, salmon, and wagyu meatloaf. And the chef's butcher block special, a 12 oz. prime New York strip, is worth considering.
