Mount Sunflower is the highest point in Kansas and measures 4,039 ft above sea level. This elevation puts Mount Sunflower at position 28 for the highest points in the United States. The point prominence for Mount Sunflower is 19 ft. and its isolation is 0.84 miles.
Let's be real here; Mount Sunflower is not actually a mountain in the state of Kansas. What's interesting about this highpoint is that it's less than half a mile from Colorado's border. The lowest point in Colorado is pretty much also the highest point of Kansas!
