Carbon Glacier, Glacier expanse in Mount Rainier National Park, United States.
The Carbon Glacier extends beneath Mount Rainier's north face, featuring a thick ice mass and connecting suspension bridges across the Carbon River.
The glacier formed through centuries of snow accumulation, becoming a permanent ice formation at the lowest elevation in the contiguous United States.
The Wonderland Trail system near Carbon Glacier serves as a connection point for hikers exploring Mount Rainier's diverse geological formations.
The trail requires a 17-mile round trip with 1900 feet elevation gain, passing through old-growth forests and multiple river crossings.
The glacier maintains its status as the thickest ice mass in Mount Rainier National Park, measuring several hundred feet in depth.
