Eliot Glacier, Glacier on Mount Hood, Oregon, United States.
The Eliot Glacier spans 405 acres across the northeastern slopes of Mount Hood, extending 1.5 miles with a surface covered in talus debris.
Since 1901, the glacier has experienced a retreat of 680 meters, showing a slower rate of reduction compared to other glaciers on Mount Hood.
The Cooper Spur Trail near the glacier serves as a research location for scientists studying climate patterns and geological formations in the Pacific Northwest.
The Cloud Cap Trailhead provides access to the glacier viewing area, requiring a Northwest Forest Pass and containing vault toilets and picnic tables.
The glacier maintains its size due to its high-altitude location near Mount Hood's summit and substantial talus debris covering the ice surface.
