Nature
Caldwell Glacier lies in Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska’s Alaska Range. Beginning in the Kichatna Mountains between Gurney Peak and Lewis Peak, it extends southwest for about 5 miles and feeds the Kichatna River. Explorer Lt. J.S. Herron named the glacier in 1889. Set in the rugged Kichatna Mountains, it occupies one of the park’s more remote areas, where glaciers play an important role in shaping the landscape and supplying the headwaters of local rivers.
