Humes Glacier is located in the Olympic Mountains in Olympic National Park, approximately southeast of the summit of Mount Olympus.[2] The glacier starts at nearly 6000feet and descends downslope 1.25miles, terminating at 4800feet above sea level.
It was named by members of The Mountaineers climbing club in 1907 for Grant and Will Humes, who were guides, explorers, and pack-train operators.
