Grand Pacific Glacier is a 25 kilometre glacier straddling British Columbia and Alaska. It begins in Glacier Bay National Park in the Saint Elias Mountains, southwest of Mount Hay, then trends east into the Grand Pacific Pass area of British Columbia before turning southeast to reach the head of Tarr Inlet at the Alaska-Canada boundary, about 68 miles west of Skagway.
