North Mowich Glacier
The North Mowich Glacier is a glacier located on the northwest flank of Mount Rainier in Washington. It covers and contains 9.5 billion ft (269 million m) of ice. Starting from the foot of Rainier's steep Mowich Face at about , the glacier first consists of two lobes of ice that flow downhill to the northwest. The southern arm of the glacier is connected to the adjacent Edmunds Glacier. As the two sections of ice join up, they form a large, relatively flat plateau of ice ranging
the toe of the glacier, the river drops over a large wall, forming Moraine Falls, the first of two waterfalls on the river, both of which are very difficult to access and would take several days to reach on foot. Giant Falls, just as difficult to reach, is located a ways downstream of Moraine Falls. Ptarmigan Ridge separates the North Mowich River's headwaters from Spray Park, much of which is drained by other tributaries of the North Mowich River. Spray Creek rises in Spray Park, tumbles over Spray
