Ruth Glacier is a valley glacier in Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska, its upper reaches lying about three vertical miles below the summit of Denali. It is known for its Great Gorge, about a mile wide and dropping nearly 2,000 feet over ten miles between granite cliffs roughly 4,900 feet high, a depth that recent research places at 8,085 feet, deeper than the Grand Canyon.
