Panorama Point, the Highpoint of Nebraska


back

The Nebraska highpoint is marked with a granite monument rather a bit overprotectively wrapped in a steel railing. The "panorama" after which the highpoint is named stretches across unbroken plains in every direction, with very little apparent vertical relief. Thanks to a fellow highpointer, all three of us got "into the act" for this group photo.
If you have read Zumwalt's highpointers book, you will probably have noticed that his publisher "flopped" the photo of this marker in his book, so unless you're Leonardo daVinci, this view should be a bit easier to read.
The "Three Corners" marker sits at the intersection of Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado. Here, Nathan is standing in Wyoming (a new state for his list), Marcia is in Nebraska, and I am in Colorado. If you accept the accuracy of the state lines on the marker, I suppose my GPS is occupying all three states simultaneously! Can you name the only spot in the country where four states join at a square corner?
