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 that states "nothing happened here in 1897."
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." - Wikipedia
Eva is so desperate to find a mountain that he ignores the fact that a mountain top should be distinguishable from the other terrain!
