Reid Glacier, Alpine glacier on Mount Hood, Oregon, United States

Reid Glacier flows between Yocum Ridge and Hawkins cliffs on Mount Hood's west slope, ranging from 9,800 to 6,000 feet elevation.

The Mazamas mountaineering organization named the glacier during a ceremony in 1901 to honor geophysicist Harry Fielding Reid.

The Sandy River, which originates from Reid Glacier, holds ecological importance for the surrounding Mount Hood Wilderness ecosystem.

Visitors can access Reid Glacier through Mount Hood Wilderness trails, requiring appropriate mountaineering equipment and experience for safe exploration.

The glacier maintains extensive crevasses in its upper section and features an ice fall at its terminus, covering 126 acres of terrain.
