This Epic Mountain In Minnesota Will Drop Your Jaw
Lookout Mountain in Cascade River State Park offers stunning waterfall views and a scenic overlook, making it a must-visit hiking destination.
It's not the highest mountain in Minnesota, and not the most well-known, but Lookout Mountain at Cascade River State Park on the North Shore is one of the prettiest places around.
The peak stands at 1,850 feet, and there are almost 20 higher peaks in Minnesota, even in the surrounding area. Still, this view is just one of the reasons that the mountain is so amazing.
Because it's located in Cascade River State Park, a hike up this mountain will take you by some of the most amazing waterfalls.
The waterfall views start right after the trailhead, and they continue for most of the hike - keeping even the most impatient of hikers entertained.
This hike isn't too strenuous, or long, and you end up seeing a view far beyond what you might expect.
Nothing beats this overlook, where you can sit down and enjoy the beauty of the untamed Northern wilderness.
And in case Lookout Mountain wasn't good enough already...
There's a shelter and campsite right at the top!
So you can have the peak to yourself for a night for a truly magical experience!
Just imagine the stargazing!
