Mount Sunflower

Mount Sunflower, at four thousand thirty-nine feet in far western Kansas, is the state's highest natural point, though it appears as only a slight rise on the High Plains near the Colorado border rather than a distinct peak. Its subtle form reflects Kansas's gradual climb in elevation from east to west, making the summit barely stand out despite its great height above the state's lowest point. Designated Kansas's highest point by the United States Geological Survey in 1961, it later became a welcoming roadside destination on Harold family land, known for its sunflower sculpture, visitor register, and wry humor.
