Lyall Glacier is within the Wenatchee National Forest in Chelan County, Washington, United States, and is just southeast of Frisco Mountain.[1][2][3] It occupies the north cirque on Rainy Peak. Melt from Lyall Glacier contributes to waterfalls which tumble 1,000 ft (300 m) into Rainy Lake.
Lyall Glacier is now said to have disappeared.[4]
