Panorama Point, High point at Nebraska-Wyoming border, US.
Panorama Point is Nebraska's highest natural elevation, rising 5,429 feet (1,654 m) above sea level in southwestern Kimball County. The landscape consists of rolling grasslands topped by a marked summit where visitors can stand at this high point.
Panorama Point is a low rise on the High Plains, not a mountain or hill, and its summit is marked by a stone marker giving an elevation of 5,424 feet (1,653 m). The marker was placed to make the highest point of Nebraska findable in the wide plain, one mile from the Colorado and Wyoming state lines. The site lies on the High Point Bison Ranch, whose owners allow visitors to drive up to the marker and register.
The summit register sits beside the stone marker at the end of the drive; the marker gives the elevation as 5,424 feet, while the accepted figure is 5,429 feet. Signing it is the customary act of arrival at Nebraska's highest natural point, a low rise on the High Plains rather than a peak.
Access is through High Point Bison Ranch, where a small fee is required, and driving carefully is important since free-roaming bison occupy the area. Wear sturdy shoes and arrive early on warm days to avoid the intense heat that can build up across the open grassland.
The stone marker at the summit gives the elevation as 5,424 feet, while the accepted figure is 5,429 feet; the two numbers differ by five feet. The marker stands beside a guest register where visitors sign in, and the state corner marker for Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado lies a short distance away.
