The Dome Glacier is located in the Snoqualmie National Forest in the US state of Washington on the northern slopes of Dome Peak . It generally flows westward for a distance of about 0.80 mi (1 km) and maintains a rather shallow angle between 8,600 ft (2,621 m) and 7,600 ft (2,316 m), while at this point it descends in a massive ice fall to about 6,900 ft (2,103 m) altitude. A ridge separates the glacier from the Dana Glacier in the northwest and the Chickamin Glacier in the east.
