Palisade Glaciers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Palisade Glacier and the Middle Palisade Glacier are two glaciers on the northeast side of the Palisades in the central Sierra Nevada of California. They are the largest glaciers in the Sierra Nevada, and the southernmost glaciers in North America. However, they present climbers with few of the difficulties commonly associated with glacier travel.[1]
