Silver Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington and descends to the northwest from near the summit of Mount Spickard. Silver Glacier descends from 8,700 to 7,200 ft (2,700 to 2,200 m), and Silver Lake lies .50 mi (0.80 km) below the current terminus of the glacier. The National Park Service is currently studying Silver Glacier as part of their glacier monitoring project.
