Saint Vrain Glaciers, Alpine glaciers in Roosevelt National Forest, Colorado, US
The Saint Vrain Glaciers occupy northeast facing cirques at elevations between 11,000 and 13,000 feet within the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area.
The glacial formations have undergone substantial changes over centuries, providing scientists with data about climate patterns in the Rocky Mountain region.
The territory where Saint Vrain Glaciers now stand was a seasonal gathering place for Ute and Arapaho tribes before European settlement.
Visitors need specialized equipment and proper preparation as weather conditions near the glaciers can shift dramatically within hours at these high altitudes.
The glacial system forms a natural water reservoir that supplies Saint Vrain Creek, supporting the local ecosystem and downstream water resources.
