Noisy Creek Glacier

Noisy Creek Glacier is a small glacier in Washington’s North Cascades National Park, about half a mile northwest of Bacon Peak and separated by a ridge from Green Lake Glacier to the east. It extends from about 6,300 feet down to 5,500 feet and covered roughly 0.58 square kilometers in 1993. Like many glaciers in the range, it has been retreating, leaving a series of small proglacial lakes. The National Park Service monitors it as part of a glacier study program, which found that between 1993 and 2013 it lost about 8 meters of thickness.
