Colchuck Glacier

Colchuck Glacier is in the Stuart Range immediately north of Colchuck Peak and Dragontail Peak, in the U.S. state of Washington. Colchuck Glacier is within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness of Wenatchee National Forest. The glacier is approximately 0.30 mi in length, 0.10 mi in width at its widest and descends from 7600 to 6400 ft, where it terminates on barren rock and talus. Below the glacier lies Colchuck Lake. The mountain and glacier take their name from the lake, which in Chinook jargon means "cold water".
