About Mount Sunflower

Mount Sunflower is Kansas's highest point at 4,039 feet, though it's really just a gentle rise in the High Plains near the Colorado border. The 'summit' is marked by a sunflower sculpture and mailbox, and visitors can drive directly to the high point. The area offers expansive views of the Great Plains.

History

Named for Kansas's state flower, Mount Sunflower represents the gradually rising elevation of the High Plains as they approach the Rocky Mountains. The area is primarily agricultural land, and the landowners have welcomed highpointers with the installation of the distinctive sunflower sculpture.
