Best Skyline View in Tulsa

[custosnox]

Hey, guys. I am creating a PS3 theme for Tulsa, and I need good quality pictures of downtown Tulsa, as well as sights throughout the city, that will show the beauty of the city. If the photos aren't copyrighted, shoot them my way; make sure they are +1.0MB in size (since I want the photos to look good on even +40" TVs), and send them to fr.justin.baldwin@gmail.com.

The ones I posted are mine, and they can be used under two conditions

1. You make no financial gain from them
2. You do not falsly credit them

Pretty simple.

I found one the best vantage points yesterday driving north on old Hwy. 97 in Sand Springs, right around the Osage Hills Country Club.  There are several neighborhoods up there with great views of downtown, the surrounding hills, and the river.  If you have ever been to Austin's Westlake Hills it feels very similar although there aren't multi-million dollar mansions everywhere you look.  There are a number of nice homes and some not-so-nice homes with awesome views.  I am actually surprised this area hasn't been developed more than it has being fairly close to downtown/midtown via 412 and close to the limited shopping/dining Sand Springs has to offer (maybe that's the reason).  

Another beautiful area not too far that does have some really nice homes is along the eastern shore of Lake Skiatook from Tall Chief Cove to the dam.  I hadn't been up there in awhile and was blown away by all the new development.  The lake views looking west are fantastic, and getting back to midtown took about 30 minutes.  I'll take some pictures next time I'm up there.

I was up all over that area yesterday on my motorcycle, I wouldn't be surprised if our paths crossed.  Now that you are going to be living here permanently, you ought to think about doing the organized Weds. night bicycle ride from Riverwest Park up north of Sand Springs and back.  I love it, there's a variety of routes you can take, just about all offer spectacular views around Tulsa and downtown.

Definitely, I haven't biked much lately though.  Heading to the river this evening to see how far I can go!
