The high point, proper, is marked with this large plaque bolted to
one of the granite outcrops. In an area as heavily glaciated as
Minnesota was, only this very hard rock survived the bulldozer motion
of the ice.
The afternoon we hiked up Eagle Mountain, it was cloudy, and had been
drizzling on and off earlier, but stopped in time for our hike.
Temperatures were in the low 60's, perfect for an afternoon walk. The
only real downside (not surprisingly) were the swarms of the
state bird of Minnesota, the mosquito!! Liberal use of bug repellent
was certainly warranted.
