Sahale Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Sahale Glacier is a mountain glacier on the south slope of Sahale Mountain in North Cascades National Park, Chelan County, Washington. It is about 0.25 miles (0.4 km) long, descending from roughly 8,200 to 7,800 feet in elevation, and is separated by ridges from the neighboring Davenport and Quien Sabe glaciers; like most glaciers in the range, it is currently retreating, with its terminus an icefall above bare rock.
