The Conness Glacier is a glacier located on the steep northeast cirque on Mount Conness, east of the Sierra Nevada crest.[1] The glacier is situated at about 11,500 feet (3,500 m)[2] and can be seen from Saddlebag Lake to the east. The glacier is the largest glacier in the Sierra Nevada north of Tioga Pass or Highway 120. In 2004, a study found that since 1900, Conness Glacier had lost half its surface area.[3]
