A selfie on the trail to Eagle Mountain, Minnesota's state high point

A photo story

Eagle Mountain, Minnesota

This is a trail selfie on the way to Eagle Mountain, Minnesota's state high point, in June 2026. It was in the low 60s that afternoon, a little breezy, with broken clouds and no rain falling when I took this, even though a little had come down earlier in the day.

Eagle Mountain sits in the woods of northeastern Minnesota, not far from the Boundary Waters. The high point itself is a walk to a rocky top, and this photo is from the trail, not the summit sign.
