Mt. Sunflower, KS - Peak #13


September 4, 2010, - a beautiful, but hot and windy day, we reached the highpoint in Kansas, Mt. Sunflower at about 6:30 p.m. Mountain Time. From Hwy 40 west of Weskan, we drove north on a dirt road, WA-S3, for 11 miles, then a left turn, another mile, and there it was...in the middle of a cow pasture. We walked the half mile up a dirt path, through the cows, and to the "summit." I won't say that it is beautiful, it is just...Kansas - rolling plains and no trees. The owners of the property are gracious enough to maintain this highpoint for all to enjoy and there is even a summit register to sign. Six others had signed the log book today!
Acres and acres of sunflowers along the trip have thrilled us. We hope to see more on our way to Black Mesa, OK, tomorrow.
