Redoubt Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, on the east slopes of Mount Redoubt.[2] Redoubt Glacier descends from the 8400feet point on the east slope of Mount Redoubt then has a south terminus near 7200feet. The glacier then has a shallow gradient for most of its course before descending north on a wide 1.5miles front to 6500feet. Melt from the glacier feeds into Depot Creek which flows into Chilliwack Lake. The Depot Glacier lies to the west of Redoubt Glacier.[3]
