- Mount Sunflower (summitpost.org)
Mt. Sunflower is the high point of Kansas, hence the name Mt. “Sunflower” since Kansas is the “Sunflower State”. What Kansas is not is a mountain state. I do believe that state high points should count as summits, as long as there is a reasonable hill with a view from the top. Kansas is a flat state however, and not very exciting to drive through, except for the Central Kansas hill country. Mt. Sunflower is in extreme Western Kansas (near the Colorado border) in Wallace County, and is actually a hill, with a nice view. It is probably not much more than 50 feet up from the beginning of the trailhead to the top.
