This route goes from the lowest point in Minnesota (Lake Superior, 600’) to the highest point in Minnesota (Eagle Mountain, 2301’). While Minnesota is not known for its elevation change, Eagle Mountain is the sixth-most isolated peak in the contiguous United States, being over 400 miles from any higher point. Lake Superior is generally considered the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area.

"The Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region consists of more than 10,000 acres and is located within an additional 30,000 acre expanse of conservation land in southern Maine...The mountain and the surrounding area provide residents with an ideal location for hiking, biking and sightseeing. While most of Southern Maine is heavily developed, this stretch of conservation land is a natural treasure that will be preserved for the enjoyment of generations to come."
