Sacagawea Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Sacagawea Glacier lies east of the Continental Divide in the northern Wind River Range of Wyoming, within the Fitzpatrick Wilderness of Shoshone National Forest, and is among the largest grouping of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains. It flows east from a northeast-facing cirque near the summit of Mount Sacagawea, and a large moraine with a small proglacial lake lies beyond its terminal end.
