Helen Glacier

Helen Glacier lies in Wyoming’s northern Wind River Range on the east side of the Continental Divide, within the Fitzpatrick Wilderness of Shoshone National Forest. Set in a region with one of the largest concentrations of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains, it occupies a cirque northeast of Mount Helen and flows eastward from that high basin. The glacier is part of the Wind River Range’s best-known icefields, where steep granite peaks, alpine basins, and persistent ice shape the upper country. It remains an important feature of this broader glaciated wilderness landscape.
