Mount Sunflower, the Kansas High Point


back

A truly pastoral (or was that "pasture-al"??) highpoint, Mount Sunflower is near the Kansas / Colorado border. Finding it is interesting, to say the least, since the gravel section roads aren't on the state highway map and although they do show up on the USGS topographic quadrangle, you would have to buy the whole set from Kanorado down to Mt. Sunflower in order to follow the roads. The day in 1995 when we stopped there, it was typically windy and atypically chilly for the first of July.
