Depot Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington, on the northeast slopes of Mount Redoubt.[2] Depot Glacier descends from the 7,400 to 6,000 ft (2,300 to 1,800 m). Melt from the glacier feeds into Depot Creek which flows into Chilliwack Lake. The Redoubt Glacier lies to the east while the West Depot Glacier is separated from Depot Glacier by a ridge.[3]
