Diobsud Creek Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington and is on the east slopes of Bacon Peak. Diobsud Creek Glacier has a shallow gradient, descending to the east from 7,000 to 6,000 ft (2,100 to 1,800 m) for a distance of nearly 1 mi (1.6 km).[2][3] The ridge is an arête which separates Diobsud Creek Glacier from Green Lake Glacier to the north.
