A photo story

Mount Sunflower, Kansas

I stopped at the Mount Sunflower sign, the highest point in Kansas, in October 2023. It was a mild, mostly clear evening, around 72, though the wind had been blowing around 19 earlier in the day. A couple of days earlier I had been on Mount Elbert, about a six hour drive west.

Sunflower is a high spot in the plains, with a sign, a fence, and a lot of open Kansas around it. I pulled up, took the selfie, and that was the high point.
