Red Hills (Kansas)

The Red Hills are a grouping of large red colored hills in south Kansas and north west Oklahoma. They are also referred to as the Gypsum or "Gyp" Hills, especially in Oklahoma, after the mineral capping this series of erosional mesas and escarpments. They are part of the Permian Redbeds region in Oklahoma and the Red Hills Prairie region in Kansas. The Red Hills have large vistas and some small steep canyons. The highest elevations reached in the range are on Twin Hills (ft to m|2708) and Table Mesa (ft to m|2643) in Meade County, Kansas. Other high points are Mount Nebo (ft to m|2441), Mount Jesus (ft to m|2340) and Mount Lookout (ft to m|2320), all in Clark County, Kansas. [http://americasroof.com/highest/ks.shtml]
