Queets Glacier is a glacier located in the Olympic Mountains in Olympic National Park. The body of ice lies on the northwest side of Mount Queets.[2] Starting at an elevation of about 6,400 feet (2,000 m), the glacier descends northwest, bounded by two arêtes on either side. The ice reaches as low as 5,100 ft (1,600 m) before terminating and giving rise to some of the headwaters of the Queets River.[1] There are several bodies of ice and snow located nearby the glacier.[1]
