}}Lyman Glacier is located on the north slopes of Mount Adams a stratovolcano in Gifford Pinchot National Forest in the U.S. state of Washington.[2] The glacier is also within the Yakama Indian Reservation and descends from near the summit of Mount Adams at approximately {{convert|11400|ft|abbr=on}} to a terminus near {{convert|7800|ft|abbr=on}}. Below {{convert|9000|ft|abbr=on}} the glacier splits into three distinct lobes.[2] Lyman Glacier has been in a general state of retreat for over 100 years and lost 34 percent of its surface area between 1904 and 2006.[3]

Lyman Glacier was named after William Denison Lyman by Claude Ewing Rusk because Lyman was one of the first to describe some of Mount Adams' features and history.[4]
