Why Minnesota is a water country you drive the edges of

Minnesota gives a driver almost no vertical. The U.S. Geological Survey puts the highest point at 2,301 feet on Eagle Mountain in Cook County and the lowest at 601 feet on Lake Superior, a spread of 1,700 feet across the whole state, and the Superior National Forest points out that both of them sit inside its boundary. The sixteen gateway towns in this guide run from 612 feet at Grand Marais to 1,439 at Virginia. Nothing here is a climb. What shapes a trip instead is water, trees and cold.
