Lincoln Peak, Mountain summit in Washington, United States.
Lincoln Peak is a subsidiary summit of Mount Baker in the Cascade Range, within Mount Baker Wilderness and Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. At over 9,080 feet (2,770 m) it is Washington's 16th-highest peak, though its prominence is only 720 feet (220 m). Lincoln, Colfax and Seward Peaks are erosional remnants of an older eruptive episode, while the nearby Mount Baker cone comes from more recent volcanism.
