(81,500 posts)That was my first impression. A beautifully decorated teepee with the local symbology of mountains and landscape. I really like that design. Would be a nice tip-of-the-hat to local tribal heritage of the Upper Midwest.

What kind of a horse exactly is a Piston?

(115,858 posts)There's a range of hills along Lake Superior called the Sawtooth Mountains, which are left over from a series of volcanic eruptions about a billion years ago, but they've eroded rather considerably. The design is OK but they might get some grief about the lack of actual mountains in Minnesota.

(3,030 posts)"Whether a landform is called a mountain may depend on local usage. Mount Scott outside Lawton, Oklahoma is only 251 m (823 ft) from its base to its highest point. Whittow's Dictionary of Physical Geography[2] states "Some authorities regard eminences above 600 metres (2,000 ft) as mountains, those below being referred to as hills."

LakeSuperiorView
(1,533 posts)In the middle of the Superior National Forest, it is not a ski hill. Are you thinking Giants Ridge? Eagle Mountain is 328 feet taller, with it's peak at 2301 feet above sea level. Giant's Ridge is 1972 feet above sea level.
That's based on highest point of course, Giant's Ridge may have a greater change in elevation from peak to surrounding land, but I think Lutsen has more elevation change than Giant's Ridge. I do not know what feature in Minnesota has the largest local elevation change, so I usually go with Eagle Mountain on the basis of the highest point in Minnesota. It's also only about 15 miles from the lowest point in Minnesota, the surface of Lake Superior at about 602 feet above sea level. Mines don't count there - Tower Soudan Mine's lowest level is below sea level.

(1,533 posts)But what hill were you thinking of on the Range?

(34,661 posts)Do remember the Slag pies by Hibbing being called hills. Always kidded my Cousin about those overburden Piles he used to play on.

Maybe this is just a cheap and "trendy" way to focus group it via social media. "It was mistakenly left" happens a lot it seems.
