The Williwakas Glacier is a glacier located on the south flank of Mount Rainier in Washington. The glacier lies below the Paradise Glacier.[1] Due to its relatively low elevation—6,600 feet (2,000 m)–6,900 feet (2,100 m)—the glacier is small and surrounded by small snow fields above the regional tree line.[1] A stubby 7,163 ft (2,183 m) peak is located to the east of the glacier.[1]
