Eldorado Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Eldorado Glacier lies on the south slope of Eldorado Peak in North Cascades National Park, Washington, descending from about 8,400 feet to 7,000 feet in elevation over roughly 0.85 miles (1.37 kilometers), reaching 1.2 miles (1.9 kilometers) wide at its terminus of icefall and barren rock. It connects to Inspiration Glacier on its upper slopes, and its meltwater feeds Roush Creek Falls, among the tallest waterfalls in Washington state at about 2,000 feet.
