Admin note: Here is a Strava segment for the standard up & down route. The FKT appears to be 57:53 by Shane Steele, with several other times around 1:10 to 1:12.

Minnesota isn’t known for its mountains but Eagle Mountain is unique. Besides being the state highpoint it is also the sixth-most isolated peak in the lower 48 states (after Whitney, Mitchell, Washington, Rainier and Elbert), being over 400 miles from the next highest point.
