Easton Glacier, Alpine glacier on Mount Baker, Washington, United States.

The Easton Glacier extends 2.5 miles along Mount Baker's south face, reaching from Sherman Crater at 9,000 feet down to 5,500 feet elevation.

Between 1850 and 1950, the glacier experienced a substantial retreat of 7,940 feet, followed by a brief advancement period during cooler climate conditions.

The glacier bears the name of Charles F. Easton from Bellingham, who documented and preserved the historical records of Mount Baker.

Visitors can reach the glacier through Baker Lake Road and Park Butte Trailhead, requiring standard glacier equipment and a Northwest Forest Pass.

The glacier features two distinctive lateral formations: the Metcalfe Moraine on the left side and the Railroad Grade on the right side.
