That list is woefully incomplete. Among other notable peaks, it omits Mt. Sunflower in Kansas. At 4,039 feet, it is the highest point in the state and has been the object of many strenuous expeditions, the most notable being a nontraditional route to the summit which has been documented here: http://www.bettingers.org/air/index.htm.

The approach is the hardest part. :) The car does all the work. What I like about it is that its less than a mile from the Colorado border and Colorado's lowest point.
It is not good training for Cactus to Clouds :)

There is a picnic table on the "summit"

The following website lists 4106 peaks with a prominence of 500 feet, just for California
