Description Suggest change

The oft-photographed group of peaks viewed from the Washington Pass Lookout. Following a rough NW-to-SE line, the main summits are Liberty Bell, Concord Tower, Lexington Tower, North Early Winter's Spire, and South Early Winter's Spire.

Getting There Suggest change

The two popular approaches are from the Blue Lake trailhead and the hairpin curve further east, both along the main highway.

From Blue Lake trailhead, follow the hikers trail for 1.7 miles until a big wooden sign on the left with words "Liberty Bell trail 727".
