Moomaw Glacier, Alpine glacier in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, US

The Moomaw Glacier extends northeast of Isolation Peak, forming a natural ice formation that affects the surrounding mountain landscape.

Documented in 1963 through the Roger G. Barry Glacier Photographs Collection, this glacier has experienced continuous retreat over recent decades.

Scientists and researchers regularly monitor the glacier to understand climate patterns and environmental changes in the Rocky Mountain region.

Visitors need appropriate hiking equipment and weather protection to reach the glacier, which requires a moderate hike through mountain terrain.

The glacier's terminal moraine creates Frigid Lake, contributing to the water system of Boulder County and surrounding areas.
