Roosevelt Glacier is located on the north slopes of Mount Baker in the North Cascades of the U.S. state of Washington.[2] Roosevelt Glacier descends to nearly 5,000 ft (1,500 m) at Chromatic Moraine.[2] In the middle of its course, Roosevelt Glacier is connected to Coleman Glacier to its south.

Roosevelt Glacier was named for Theodore Roosevelt, who never saw Mount Baker.[3]
