Mount Sunflower, although not a true mountain, is the highest point in Kansas, USA. Located in Wallace County, it is less than one mile from the border with Colorado and close to Colorado's lowest point.
Mount Sunflower is located on private land owned by Mike and Rae Marie Jones, who encourage visitors to the site. Access is via county dirt roads to the edge of the property, then across a cattle guard and onto a private dirt road through a cattle grazing pasture to the summit.
