Boulder Glacier, Mountain glacier in Glacier National Park, Montana
Boulder Glacier extends across the northern slopes of Boulder Peak, west of the Continental Divide in Glacier National Park at 48.9575 latitude.
The glacier has experienced substantial reduction in size since 1910, when early photographers documented its extensive coverage of the mountainside.
Native American tribes maintained deep connections to the lands surrounding Boulder Glacier for generations before the establishment of Glacier National Park.
Visitors can reach Boulder Glacier through designated hiking trails within Glacier National Park while adhering to park regulations and safety guidelines.
Scientific measurements from 2005 revealed the glacier covered only 13 acres, falling below the 25-acre minimum requirement for classification as active glacier.
