I had always heard that where Mount St. Mary's School is located was the highest point, after that it was always a mix of Lake Hefner or the Baptist location with the tower farm area being behind that.

I do know there is a good view from the roof of One Benham Place and the OPUBCO Tower. When I worked night shift we would watch the lightning hit all the towers from the third floor of OBP looking to the east, we had to shut the systems down during storms since that was before we added a UPS system to the servers, workstations. So we would turn out the lights and watch it dance up and down the towers. The favorite place to watch Fourth of July fireworks was on a sailboat on Lake Hefner, they just seemed to happen all around you back when the country clubs had their own displays.

One of my memories growing up was coming back at night from Altus or Lawton on I-44 and cresting the hill on the turnpike near Tuttle and seeing the city lights just seem to spread out before your eyes, I always loved that.If I appear to be stalking you, and dogging(pun intended) your beliefs, I'm sorry, I'm not. However, I think it's the Top-O-The Town addition that sits on the top of the town as opposed to the Mount. Maybe not, I could be wrong, I am quite often.

Like I said, some of this stuff is just what I had been told over the years but never really "knew" for sure. Some of the stuff today triggered that in my mind to ask. Sometimes things that are told as fact seem to be a generic location close by to the actual location.

I like the Lake Overholser dam looking west at twilight and sunset. Amazing view on sunny evenings.

Bigray in Ok

Those areas are probably all very close in height. All three could be the true highest. Baptist has always "looked" high to me, but who knows. Anyone have any idea how we could figure out for sure? I'm curious.

Me too!! I remember, as a kid, riding in the car and seeing the approach from the highland immediately west of the old toll gates on I-44. Love the night vista with ALL THOSE LIGHTS stretching from Norman all the way North as far as the eye could see. It was never ending and always indicated that we had FINALLY made it to Okc.

There really isn't any other vantage point with a view as grand as this. Not even the highlands south of Norman or the I-35 blinking-red-light-tower area.

Taking a slow tour around the Former Eagle's Nest outer ring.

Waking up early early in an upper floor room with southeastern exposure at the former Hilton Northwest.

Yeah, I've obviously not enjoyed either view in quite a spell, but good memories linger on all the same.

Bricktown looks cool from the top of the Hampton Inn's parking garage. A security guard patrols the garage though, so there's a chance you could get kicked out before you have much of a chance to enjoy it. But I've been up there during the day and it's calm and relaxing.

I still remember when they first opened I-235 and the first time I drove on it. I was north bound on I-35, crossed I-40 and made that slight curve to the left and saw downtown from that angle. It sent CHILLS down my spine...it was awesome! I still like that view.

I was in MWC today and I was at The intersection of E.Reno and Air Depot! that is a great,impressive view!

Another skyline view I saw today-Southbound Lincoln to The last I-235(southbound)exit!when you curve right off of Lincoln,to the onramp, The whole skyline comes into view,and looks massive!

South end of the Bricktown Canal at sunset. It looks like a timeline of architecture and development. In the foreground you have the historic buildings of Bricktown, behind which lies the buildings in downtown. This will really be cool once the Devon Tower is completed. A susnset just adds to the beauty.

I have several favorite vantage points. #1 From the middle of the Pennsylvania St. bridge over the Okla. River. #2 From the top of the St. Anthony's parking garage. #3 From the middle of the Walnut St. bridge over the railroad tracks.
