Liberty Cap Glacier, Mountain glacier in Mount Rainier National Park, United States.
The Liberty Cap Glacier extends from 14,100 feet down to 11,000 feet elevation, forming ice falls along the steep Mowich Face of Mount Rainier.
The glacier has documented changes in size and shape since the establishment of Mount Rainier National Park, providing data about regional climate patterns.
Mountain climbers and researchers frequently visit this glacier to study its characteristics and monitor environmental changes in the Pacific Northwest.
Access to Liberty Cap Glacier requires advanced mountaineering skills and proper equipment due to its location near Mount Rainier's summit.
