The Palisade Glacier and the Middle Palisade Glacier are two glaciers on the northeast side of the Palisades in the central Sierra Nevada of California. They are the largest glaciers in the Sierra Nevada. The Palisade Glacier has an area of 0.8 km2 and the glacier is 1.3 km long. Also, the Palisade Glacier is one of the few glaciers in California that terminates in a lake dammed by its former moraine.[1] The Middle Palisade Glacier is separated from the nearby Norman Clyde Glacier by a ridge.[2] Since these landforms are glaciers, they present climbers with few of the difficulties commonly associated with glacier travel.[3]
