Schoolroom Glacier Details

Schoolroom Glacier is a small glacier in Grand Teton National Park. This Teton Range glacier lies adjacent to the south Cascade Canyon trail at an altitude of 10,400 feet, approximately 12 miles from the trailhead at Jenny Lake. The glacier has many of the classic textbook details of a glacier, namely, well defined terminal and lateral moraines, crevasses, a proglacial lake and related features which led to the naming schoolroom. As is true for a vast majority of glaciers worldwide, Schoolroom Glacier has been in a state of retreat for many decades, and if current climatic conditions persist, the glacier is anticipated to disappear by the year 2030, if not sooner.
