Description
WikipediaLexington Tower is a 7,560-foot-elevation (2,304-meter) granite pinnacle located in the North Cascades, approximately one mile south of Washington Pass along the North Cascades Highway. It is set within the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest, on the shared border of Okanogan County and Chelan County in the state of Washington. Lexington Tower is part of the iconic Liberty Bell Group, a group of spires which also includes Liberty Bell Mountain, Concord Tower, and the Early Winters Spires. Precipitation runoff from Lexington Tower drains west into State Creek and east into Early Winters Creek. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,500 feet (760 meters) above Early Winters Creek in approximately one-half mile.
