Ely's Peak is a geological geographic feature located in Gary - New Duluth, Duluth, Minnesota. It is 1,133 ft. at its tallest point. Ely’s Peak is a public recreation site, used for both hiking and rock climbing. For hikers, there is a section of the Superior Hiking Trail that ascends and rounds the peak and then continues up the North Shore. Those seeking to rock climb have several route options, as there are 18 established routes on the peak’s face. A train tunnel under the peak, no longer used as a railway, had been a part of the Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway, or DWP. The peak itself was named after Edmund F. Ely, a Presbyterian missionary from Wilbraham, Massachusetts. In 1834 he began teaching the Fon Du Lac Native American community. He was also responsible for the founding and settlement of Oneota (Duluth), located in present-day West Duluth.
