Minnesota’s Majestic Summit
Nestled in the northeastern corner of Minnesota, Eagle Mountain may not look as dramatic as some of the country’s towering giants. Still, it is absolutely Minnesota’s crown jewel. At 2,301 feet, Eagle Mountain ranks 37th among U.S. state high points, and this hike marked my 32nd state high point. While it doesn’t scream “epic” at first glance, it quietly calls to outdoor lovers, promising a day filled with solitude, scenery, and a little bit of adventure.
