Saint Mary's Glacier, also called St. Mary's, is a semi-permanent snowfield in the Arapaho National Forest in Colorado, about 2.5 miles southeast of James Peak and roughly an hour's drive northwest of Denver. It sits above the unincorporated community of Alice and is reached by a 1.6-mile hike from a parking area, passing St. Mary's Lake at the glacier's base before climbing to a panoramic view of the surrounding Front Range peaks. The area is popular with hikers and anglers.
