Panorama Point

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.

The elevation formed through geological processes that shaped the Southern Great Plains over millions of years, creating this distinct rise in the landscape. Local communities later recognized and developed the site as a key landmark for the region.

Visitors sign a summit register maintained by the local chamber, creating a record of people who have reached this high point. The register connects climbers across time and reflects how the community marks this natural landmark as a place worth documenting.

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.

From the summit, visitors can view three states at once: Nebraska's plains, Wyoming's landscape, and Colorado's Rocky Mountains in the distance. This rare tri-state view makes the location special for those seeking wide panoramic sights.
