Edmunds.[3] The glacier lies on the western flank of the volcano below the steep, rocky Mowich Face and Sunset Face. Starting from an elevation of about {{convert|9900|ft|abbr=on}}, the glacier flows northwest down to {{convert|7000|ft|abbr=on}} and ends northeast of the Jeanette Heights region of Mount Rainier. Meltwater from the Edmunds Glacier feeds the Mowich River which eventually merges with the Puyallup River. See also
