Kansas has plenty of sunsets that are beautiful enough to call home about. Have you ever looked for that perfect sunset show, but you just couldn’t find it? Well, look no further! Today we head to Elk City State Park where this stunning lakeside view is hiding within the trees on the Table Mound Trail. Are you ready to get out there?

Table Mound Trail is a 5.6-mile out and back trip that you can even use for camping!
