Forbidden Glacier lies on the north slopes of Forbidden Peak in North Cascades National Park in Washington state. It is about 0.75 miles long and roughly a mile wide at its terminus, descending from about 8,000 feet to 5,600 feet, and an arete separates it from Boston Glacier to the east and south. Its meltwater feeds Moraine Lake, and the glacier is classed as retreating.
