Skillet Glacier, Alpine glacier on Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, United States

Skillet Glacier is a glacier on the eastern side of Mount Moran in the Teton Range, within Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Its upper section is long and narrow, then broadens abruptly more than halfway down the mountain into a larger area, giving it the shape of a skillet or frying pan. It drains into Trapper Lake and via Bearpaw Lake into Jackson Lake and the Snake River.

The mountain was first reached via this glacier in 1922, establishing it as a key route for climbers. This path has remained a classic approach in the area ever since.

The name comes from the glacier's outline: a long, narrow upper section that widens abruptly about halfway down into a broad lower area, resembling a skillet or frying pan. Seen from Jackson Hole, this shape is what gave the glacier its name.

Climbers approach this ice field from the String Lake Trailhead carrying specialized rock climbing gear. You should always check snow conditions and weather before attempting the ascent.

On November 21, 1950, a DC-3 flying into Jackson Hole crashed into Mount Moran's east face beside Skillet Glacier, killing all 21 people aboard. The remains of the passengers and the aircraft still lie on the mountain.
