Hidden Creek Glacier is in North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington and is on the northwest slope of Hagan Mountain.[2] Retreat of this glacier from 1979 to 2005 exposed several rock outcroppings in the middle of the glacier.[3] The terminus of Hidden Creek Glacier only retreated 50 m (160 ft) between 1979 and 2011, however the increase in area of exposed rock outcroppings in the middle of the glacier indicates rapid thinning.[4]
