Hubert Glacier is a medium-sized glacier located on the south side of Mount Olympus in the Olympic Mountains and Olympic National Park. Due to its southern orientation, the glacier is smaller than those on the north side of Mount Olympus, such as Blue Glacier. It occupies a cirque at the bottom of the headwall, with one branch extending to the south up the mountainside. Starting from this highpoint of the glacier at Convert|6500|ft|m|-2|lk=on, it flows northward until it meets the glacial ice located in the cirque at about Convert|5600|ft|m|-2|abbr=on.Cite web|title=USGS Mount Olympus (WA) Topo Map|work=USGS Quad maps|url=http://www.topoquest.com/map.asp?lat=47.78538&lon=-123.7015&s=48&size=l&u=4&datum=nad83&layer=DRG|publisher=TopoQuest.com|accessdate=2008-07-05] The glacier changes direction and flows west to its terminus at about Convert|5000|ft|m|-2|abbr=on.
