The Rusk Glacier is a medium-sized glacier located on the eastern face of Mount Adams in Washington. Starting at an elevation of over 10,200 feet (3,100 m) at just below The Castle, the glacier flows eastward down slope.^[2] A significant portion of the glacier is covered by rock debris and in the middle of the glacier, at about 9,200 feet (2,800 m), there is a small ice-free island of rock. The glacier terminates at about 7,500 ft (2,300 m) at its rock-covered moraine.^[2]
