Saint Mary's Glacier, Permanent snowfield in Arapaho National Forest, Colorado, United States.
Saint Mary's Glacier presents a 1.5-mile round trip trail through forest terrain, leading to a lake that mirrors the surrounding mountain peaks.
The formation, initially categorized as a glacier, received reclassification as a semi-permanent snowfield due to its stationary nature over time.
The area hosts Glacierfest in August, where local communities gather for music performances, artisan displays, and traditional ore cart racing competitions.
Accessing the trail requires a $20 parking fee at designated lots, and visitors need sturdy hiking shoes for the rocky path ascending 1,200 feet.
The snowfield maintains snow coverage throughout the year at 10,848 feet elevation, enabling winter activities during summer months.
