	CVO Website - Glacier Peak Volcano, Washington
		Glacier Peak is probably best known as the source of voluminous tephra eruptions dated to 11,250 years B.P. Two tephra layers produced at this time have been identified as far as 800-1,000 kilometers to the east, and are widely used by geologists, anthropologists, and paleoecologists to date late Pleistocene sediments.
		Glacier Peak and Mount St. Helens are the only volcanoes in Washington State that have generated large, explosive eruptions in the past 15,000 years.
		Glacier Peak, geographically the most remote of the Cascade volcanoes, is a Pleistocene and Holocene composite volcano composed chiefly of dacite, with a minor amount of basalt erupted from satellitic vents (Tabor and Crowder, 1969; Beget, 1982, 1983).

	survey
		Glacier Peak is an Ideal choice for such a comprehensive survey of glacier termini changes because of the diversity of glacier behavior.
		The average retreat of Glacier Peak glaciers from the LIA to the 1958 positions was 1640 m.
		This was the largest advance of the Glacier Peak glaciers, probably due to the nature of the steep, narrow valley down which the glacier flows from 1960 m to the terminus.

	Glacier Peak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glacier Peak wasn't known by settlers to be a volcano until the 1850s, when Native Americans mentioned to naturalist George Gibbs that "another smaller peak to the north of Mount Rainier once smoked." Not until 1898 did Glacier Peak appear on a published map under its current name.
		Glacier Peak and Mount St. Helens are the only volcanoes in Washington that have generated large, explosive eruptions in the past 15,000 years.
		The average retreat of Glacier Peak glaciers from the Little Ice Age to the 1958 positions was 1640 m.

	Nature of the Northwest
		The Glacier Peak Wilderness, created by Congress in the 1964 Wilderness Legislation, is isolated within portions of Chelan, Snohomish, and Skagit Counties in the northern Cascade Mountains of Washington State.
		Glacier Peak is a volcanic cone of basalt, pumice, and ash (built on existing mountain ridges) which erupted during periods of heavy glaciation.
		Mining claims were filed in the Glacier Peak area during the North Cascades "gold rush" of the 1880's and 1890's.

	SummitPost - Glacier Peak -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		Glacier Peak is a moderate and gentle summit located near Georgia Pass in the southwestern region of Colorado’s Front Range.
		Glacier Peak is visible from US 285 near the small town of Jefferson; it rises as a “Squaretop” ridge on the northwestern mountainous boundary of South Park.
		Although an ascent of Glacier Peak is a mere 4 miles roundtrip from Georgia Pass (possible in the summertime) it can be become a daunting 12-16 miles when deep snow hinders road access.

	Glacier Peak climb
		Glacier Peak is one of the stratovolcanoes in Washington state.
		Hidden in the Glacier Peak Wilderness it is the most isolated one, protected by a long walk-in from any direction.
		The Glacier was melted out quite a bit and we encountered a number of crevasses, both visible and hidden ones.

	The Death of a Glacier, glacier retreat, North Cascades
		Field examination of this glacier in 1988, 1995 and 2002 by the North Cascade Glacier Climate Project, along with comparison of aerial photographs from Austin Post of the USGS from 1961,1964,1965,1967, 1970,1972, 1975 and 1979, were used to map the more recent changes in both glacier thickness and extent.
		The south branch of the glacier is thin and stagnant in the lower 200 m.
		A comparison of glacier surface elevation in 1983 and 2002 identifies the average thinning in the twenty year period from the USGS aerial photography in 1983 to 2002, for the northern branch is 15 m.

	Glacier Peak: Open-File Report 95-499 - Hazards Assessment
		Glacier Peak's attractions, as well as its hazards, thus tend to be overlooked.
		Glacier Peak and Mount St. Helens are distinct from other Washington Cascade volcanoes in their tendency to produce large, explosive eruptions that break erupting magma into small fragments and disperse it into the atmosphere.
		Figure 2 shows that tephra loading from eruptions of Glacier Peak is far more likely on the east side of the volcano within a few tens of kilometers of the summit than on the west side.

	Glacier Peak Meadows
		White Peak stretched invitingly to our south, and Portal Peak was close by to the west.
		We threw all our glacier gear in our packs, and headed across the little valley to our east, eventually walking up next to the waterfall I'd taken pictures of the evening before, and into a beautiful alpine basin at the base of White Peak and Glacier Peak.
		Though the White Chuck is mostly a dead glacier, we thought this would be a perfect place to introduce the novices in the group to roped climbing technique, without have to really worry about crevasse rescue.

		Approach as for Monte Cristo Peak, hiking in to Glacier Basin and continuing to the head of the basin and climbing the talus slope through the initial cliff band to the snow slopes below the NW face, as for the North Col route.
		Cross the gap (late-season moat or bergschrund may be difficult to pass) and descend briefly to Seventy-Six Glacier (may be another moat or bergshcrund to deal with), then contour SW across the glacier to the foot of the west spur, and ascend the ridge to the summit.

		Known as DaKobed or "Great Parent" by Native Americans, the stratovolcano Glacier Peak is the patriarch of the north central Cascade mountains, the highpoint of Snohomish county.
		Glacier Peak began forming as early as 700,000 years ago, with heavy eruptive activity occurring since the retreat of the ice age glaciers about 17000 years ago.
		Prior to the 10/03 flooding, this was the approach of choice for most climbs including Sitkum Glacier, and Kennedy Glacier.

		Glacier Peak, the most isolated of the Cascade volcanoes, rises to 3213 m above the rugged forested terrain of the Glacier Peak Wilderness Area in the North Cascades.
		Glacier Peak is a dacitic-andesitic stratovolcano with summit and flank lava domes; it resembles Mount St. Helens in its explosive vigor.
		The latest eruption of Glacier Peak only a few hundred years ago was noted by indigenous Pacific Northwest Indians, and hot springs occur on its flanks.

		The area, 572,000 acres in size, 35 miles long and 20 miles wide, is characterized by heavily forested stream courses, steep sided valleys, and dramatic glacier crowned peaks.
		Most of Glacier Peak's cone was built by relatively quiet flows of dacite lava.

	Skiing the Cascade Volcanoes: Glacier Peak
		Glacier Peak is the only true wilderness volcano in the Cascade Range.
		Unlike the other volcanoes, Glacier Peak has no roads reaching its flanks, and access to its base from any direction involves a hike of several miles.
		An extremely long approach (over 20 miles of trail) leads to the largest glacier on Glacier Peak, which flows out of a breach in the summit crater down the east flank of the mountain.

	Glacier Peak \| Washington Climbs
		Nevertheless, Glacier Peak, at 10,541 ft., is one of the Cascade giants, and is highly visible from nearly all points along the Washington Cascade crest.
		There is no evidence of significant eruptions since that time - except for the extrusion of Disappointment Peak, a dacite plug - but hot springs near the base of the peak are a sign that volcanic forces are still at work beneath the mountain (although the springs have been cooling significantly).
		At least one geologist considers Glacier Peak the least likely of the Washington volcanoes to erupt in the near future; others are not so certain.

		On the glacier he was 100 yards away much of the time, wandering around investigating stuff.
		I did notice that he does switchbacks when he’s walking up the glacier; I suspect that it was because he was tired, but obviously I can’t know for sure.

	Glacier NP: Administrative History (Appendix A)
		Evangeline Lake is on the slopes of this peak.
		MATAHPI PEAK — The name, meaning "Face Mountain," was the old Blackfeet name for Going-to-the-Sun Mountain, because of the snow field that resembles the head of an Indian Chief near the eastern summit of the latter peak, when viewed from the east at certain times of the year.
		SPERRY GLACIER — Named for Dr. Lyman B. Sperry of Oberlin College, Ohio, the "Gentleman Explorer," who led the first party to reach the glacier in 1896, and who later was responsible for the building of the first trail to this glacier over approximately the same route as the present one.

		The incredible Kennedy Glacier spilled down the side of the mountain on my right, and a view into the dark Suiattle valley kept my left side interested.
