The Davenport Glacier is located in a cirque on the southeast side of Boston Peak in North Cascades National Park in Washington state . The glacier is approximately 0.20 mi (0.32 km) long and flows down from 8,000 ft (2,438 m) to 7,500 ft (2,286 m) altitude. The glacier is also northeast of Sahale Mountain and is separated from the much larger Boston Glacier to the north by a ridge called the Ripsaw Ridge.
