Conrad Glacier is located in the Goat Rocks region of the U.S. state of Washington.[2] Situated on the north side of 8184feet Gilbert Peak, the glacier flows north-northeast from an elevation of 7500feet to barren rocks and talus. A proglacial lake at 6416feet, lies where the glacier once terminated.[2] Between 1970 and 2004, Conrad Glacier lost more than 29feet in thickness in some places and split into several separate bodies of ice.[3]
