Challenger Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington and is on the north slopes of Mount Challenger. Challenger Glacier descends from 8000 to 5000 ft (2400 to 1500 m). Over 2 mi (3.2 km) wide Challenger Glacier descends along a wide terminus with heavy crevassing and numerous icefalls with a tongue of the glacier in the north descending to a proglacial lake. The ascent up Challenger Glacier is one of the most common routes to the summit of Mount Challenger.
