A year or so later I was sitting at my laptop trying to figure out what to wear to the top of the list. List of the 7 highest peaks in the state of hockey “will be interesting, but given the relative inaccessibility of many of them and a higher close, I really do not capture the spirit of the” top seven. ” Instead, this list of the top seven of the most interesting and accessible in the state. The selected peaks to give climbers a sense of both the geology is diverse, spectacular scenery, a sense of satisfaction (not up drive) and are located on public land for fishing violations could fight acid otherwise beautiful hike.
Nr. 7) Blue Hill 1090 m: Located at the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge near Zimmerman, Blue hill rises 90 meters above the rolling sandy plains of the area. To this hill of glacial deposited by retreating glaciers of the last ice age and now offers views of the surrounding oak savanna and wetlands.
Nr. 6) Mountain 1160 ft Amal: Rising to 500ft above the Mississippi River, Mount Charity climbers return to the numerous stairs to the river and it’s a rare sight over the cliff. The peak is easily accessible location in the John A. Latsch State Park near Minnesota City. Bring a camera!
Nr. 5) Inspiration Peak 1750 m: Located in the northwestern part of the state is a collection of glacial feature known as the Leaf Hills. Highest among them is Inspiration Peak is located on the land of the same name in western Urbank curb. Rises 400 meters above the surrounding area offers a vista famous author Sinclair Lewis. From the top he wrote, “It can be seen 20-mile circle of glory of some 50 lakes scattered across fields and pastures, like sequins cases on an old paisley shawl.”
Although this is an affair not to say that during the day, rising to the top of Inspiration Peak for a picnic lunch is a good way to spend a summer afternoon rare Minnesota.
Nr. 4) 1000 ft Barn Bluff: Overlooking the historic Red Wing, Barn Bluff is hard to miss. 2 miles trail to the summit of Mount LaGrange, “as the French traders called it, overlooking over 400 feet above the Mississippi River and downtown Red Wing. Above is large and flat to give pedestrians a great place to birds, including eagles and hawks observe, at eye level. Barn Bluff has become a popular site for rock climbing and bouldering with local residents and unusual to their route from the back of the handle along the path. The Summit also offers a number of large coffee shops and the nearest watering hole to wet your whistle before or after your climb.
Nr. 3) Mt. Trudee 1580 m: This one has sentimental value as one year ago it was my first experience in Sawtooth peakbagging. Mt Trudee is actually a large granite dome rises about 400 meters above the forest Tettegouche State Park. Trudee accessible through the Superior Hiking Trail and offer beautiful views of Lake Superior and the Valley of Palisade. What makes this an interesting peak is the relative lack of vegetation and exposed granite. This provides an experience almost alpine climbers usually not in the country. This is a great day with great increase in camping nearby.
Nr. 2) Carlton Peak 1526 m: our second peak is located in Superior Hiking Trail Carlton Peak. Although not the highest average sawtooth mountains along Lake Superior’s North Shore, Carlton Peak is certainly the most typical. From a distance, he stands alone as a highlight, rising 924 meters above the surface of the lake, and separated from the mountains to the north and south. This is a great place in all seasons, but lying on a warm summer sun granite with cool night breeze blowing from the lake is close enough to the sky in MN. As Trudee, over-exposed granite with a rough couple of trees by stabbing, but not so rough. This place has a mystique all her own. If I had a “mountain” option in Minnesota to the top, this would be it.
Nr. 1) Eagle Mountain 2301 m: We have a list of top Minnesota peak without including the height of the state. Apart from the insurgency, what makes this such a good hiking is the solitude relative. Of all the peaks in this list, Eagle Mountain, by far the most difficult to reach. Once on the trail is growing in the forest that are relatively straightforward until the foot of the mountain to reach. Last quarter mile is uphill, rocky steadily to the top. The peak actually has little to offer in the way of viewing, but the view from nearby leaves little doubt you are standing on the roof of Minnesota.
