"When we got back from Quandary Peak - tired and beat - Zach took a half-hour-long bathroom break. I was prepping and packing to fly back on Sunday (the very next day). When he emerged from his potty phone research session he said, "I think we can go do Mount Sunflower in Kansas tomorrow". I was immediately intrigued, having not been the one that was coming up with the hair-brained ideas for once in my life. He said 5 hours of driving out to Sunflower, 1 hour there for a short hike and 40' of elevation (which sounded delightful after our 15,000' of elevation the previous 4 days) and then back to Denver airport in time for me to catch my flight. I was all in. And so we didn't get Taos/Wheeler, but we did end up getting another unplanned state high point. Making this my 5th high point so far. Mount Sunflower, although not a true mountain, is the highest natural point in the state of Kansas. At 4,039 feet, it is 3,300 feet above the state's topographic low point, which lies on the opposite side of the state. The thing I can’t get over is that it’s still almost 800’ vertical feet above PA’s highpoint of Mount Davis in the Allegheny Mountains. " — wiweasel • May 14, 2023

"Fun climb while passing through Fredonia. Much more rugged climb than South Mound. West and South Mounds are fascinating to see from afar while approaching Fredonia from the west on US 400." — rick-brown • Sep 8, 2022

"I arrived at Panorama Point around 0745 but with 12 inches of snow, my car got stuck. It took me 2 hours to shovel my way out thanks to a little help of procuring a shovel from the folks at High Point Bison since my frisbee was not working too well to dig out. It was -10 out, so quite chilly. I was given permission to walk the way since the bison herd had been moved the day before temporarily, so I bagged it and headed to Mt. Sunflower. The roads were also rough there, but with better luck and less snow, I made it without too much difficulty. Surprised not much wind there, but nice weather in the late afternoon to walk to the highpoint. " — mchikes • Oct 27, 2020

"This is actually a pretty scenic place if you hit it close to sunset. Pass a few sunflower fields to get here. Sign the book, look in the mailbox. Its not near I70, but it is cool and worth your time to be the tallest person in Kansas. " — puddlepirate • Jul 22, 2020

"This was a repeat visit for me. I've been here quite a few times in all seasons and just enjoy stopping for a few minutes when traveling out west. This day was special as it would be the 400th time I've stood on a state highpoint and I planned it for Mt. Sunflower to watch the sun rise after driving west on I-70 throughout the night." — StoneMan • Aug 11, 2016
