Flett Glacier, Mountain glacier in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, US.
Flett Glacier consists of two separate ice sections on the northwestern flank of Mount Rainier, with eastern and western lobes at different elevations.
The glacier bears the name of botanist John B. Flett, who accomplished the first recorded climb of Little Tahoma in 1895.
Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest consider Mount Rainier and its glaciers, including Flett Glacier, significant elements of their ancestral lands.
Access to Flett Glacier requires a timed-entry permit for Mount Rainier National Park between May and September, along with suitable mountaineering equipment.
The glacier functions as a natural water source, with its meltwater contributing directly to the flow of the Puyallup River system.
