Reid Glacier, Mountain glacier in Hoonah-Angoon, Alaska.

The Reid Glacier extends for 11 miles from Brady Icefield to Reid Inlet within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.

Named after geologist Harry Fielding Reid in 1899, this glacier has provided scientific data about glacial movements and environmental changes over decades.

Native Tlingit communities have maintained connections to these glacial territories, recognizing their role in shaping the regional landscape and ecosystems.

Visitors can access Reid Glacier through guided boat tours or kayak expeditions departing from Glacier Bay National Park's main facilities.

The glacier's terminal face creates a natural observation point where mountaineers begin their ascent toward the Brady Icefield and Fairweather Mountains.
