The Conrad Glacier ( Conrad Glacier ) is located in the region of Goat Rocks in the State of Washington on the north side of the 8,184 ft (2,494 m) high Gilbert Peak . The glacier flows north-northeast from a height of 7,500 ft (2,286 m) and ends on bare rock and a scree slope. An ice reservoir at 6,416 ft (1,956 m) is located where the glacier once ended. Between 1970 and 2004, the Conrad Glacier lost more than 29 ft (9 m) in thickness in some places and split into several separate ice bodies.
