Vista Glacier is located on north slopes of Glacier Peak in the U.S. state of Washington. As is true with all the glaciers found on Glacier Peak Vista Glacier is retreating. During the Little Ice Age Vista Glacier extended down to an altitude of 4412 ft (1345 m) and was connected to Ermine Glacier to its east. From the end of the Little Ice Age to the mid-1950s Vista Glacier experienced a general retreat upslope followed by an advance during a cooler and wetter period until the mid-1970s.
