A photo story

Hawkeye Point, Iowa

Hawkeye Point is the high point of Iowa, and I was there in July 2026. The state high point sits on a low rise in farm country, marked by the sign at the top. It had rained some that day, but by mid morning it was only in the low 70s, with broken clouds and a light breeze.

There isn't a mountain here, just a quiet high spot in the fields. The next day Laura and I were in Sioux City, about a two hour drive south.
