Arapaho Glacier is an alpine glacier in a cirque immediately southeast of North Arapaho Peak, in Roosevelt National Forest in the U.S. state of Colorado, just east of the Continental Divide. It is the largest glacier in Colorado and helps supply water to the city of Boulder, but it has a negative mass balance and lost more than 52 percent of its surface area over the twentieth century.
