Eliot Glacier is a small northeast facing glacier on Mt. Hood with a debris-covered ablation zone. Andrew Fountain's research group at Portland State has been working on the glacier for many years. Hassan Bassagic will lead us on a walk to the glacier via Cooper Spur with assistance from Matt Hoffman and Adam Campbell on Monday the 10th. The following are some resources you may fine helpful in preparing for the trip:
