The Liberty Cap Glacier is a small glacier located near the summit of Mount Rainier Washington. True to its name the glacier does start at the 14100 feet (4300 m) Liberty Cap above the steep and rocky Sunset Amphitheater and the Mowich Face. Since the topography of Mount Rainier is very jagged and uneven the glacier is warped and twisted during its descent northward down to its terminus at about 11000 feet (3400 m).
