The Early Winters Spires are two rock formations in the Liberty Bell Group of the North Cascade Range in Washington State, United States. The two spires (North and South) are virtually one granite massif, split by a deep cleft formed by jointing and erosion. The shapes of these spires are attributed to ice wedging, cleaving along master joints by soil acids, and perpetual weathering.
