Edmunds Glacier is a glacier on the western flank of Mount Rainier in Pierce County, Washington, in the United States, near 46 degrees 52 minutes north, 121 degrees 48 minutes west. It is about 1.2 miles (1.93 kilometers) long and descends from roughly 9,900 feet to about 7,000 feet in elevation before terminating in an icefall. Meltwater from the glacier feeds the Mowich River, which joins the Puyallup River. It was named in 1883 for Vermont senator George F. Edmunds, and its current status is classified as retreating.
