Chelan County, Washington, U.S.

Ice Cliff Glacier is in Wenatchee National Forest in the U.S. state of Washington, in a cirque to the northeast of Mount Stuart. Ice Cliff Glacier is along one of the many climbing routes to the summit of Mount Stuart, the second tallest non-volcanic peak in the state. A prominent terminal moraine lies .40 mi (0.64 km) below the current terminus of the glacier, indicating significant retreat.
