Mount Sunflower is the highest natural point in the state of Kansas.〔 At , it is above the state's topographic low point in southeastern Kansas. Located in Wallace County, it is less than half a mile (0.8 km) from the Colorado state border and close to the lowest point in Colorado. Mount Sunflower is located on private land owned by Ed and Cindy Harold, who encourage visitors to the site. Amenities include a picnic table, a sunflower sculpture made from railroad spikes, and a plaque on the site stated, "On this site in 1897, nothing happened." As of 2015, however, that sign is missing, evidently stolen. 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. The state of Kansas gradually increases in elevation from the east to the west. As such, "Mount" Sunflower, while the highest point in the state in terms of elevation, is indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain. ==See also== *Outline of Kansas *Index of Kansas-related articles *List of U.S. states by elevation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Sunflower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
