As is true with all the glaciers found on Glacier Peak, Dusty Glacier is retreating.[3] During the Little Ice Age, Dusty Glacier extended down to an altitude of {{convert|4800|ft|abbr=on}}, but since approximately the year 1850, the glacier has been in a general state of retreat and has lost more than {{convert|1500|m|abbr=on}} of its length. Dusty Glacier is heavily crevassed and the glacier ends in an ice fall at its terminus.[4] See also
