Edmunds Glacier

Nature
Edmunds Glacier lies on the western flank of Mount Rainier in Washington beneath the steep rocky walls of Mowich Face and Sunset Face. Named in 1883 for Vermont senator George F. Edmunds, it begins at about 9,900 feet and flows northwest to around 7,000 feet. The glacier ends northeast of the Jeanette Heights area of the mountain. Its meltwater feeds the Mowich River, which later joins the Puyallup River.
