By shear coincidence, I camped last night in the shadow of Iowa's second highest point. I didn't plan follow my visit to the state highest point with one to its junior, but as the day came to an end, Pilot Knob State Park was the logical place to stop.
In the morning I hiked up to the Knob. It may be 250 feet shorter than Hawkeye Point, but the setting is more befitting a highpoint. The CCC constructed an three-storey observation tower, which adds immensely to the already impressive view.
After coming down from the Knob.I extended my morning hike a couple of miles around a couple of the lakes tuckeeld in the hills of the park.
