Nature
Mills Glacier is an alpine glacier in Rocky Mountain National Park at the base of the east face of Longs Peak in Colorado. It is one of the park’s high-mountain ice features and occupies a cold, sheltered basin beneath the mountain’s steep eastern wall, where snow and ice endure at high elevation. Its significance lies in this dramatic setting within a larger alpine landscape shaped by harsh mountain weather, cirques, and the long geologic history of glaciation in the Colorado Rockies.
