Glacier Creek Road is a short, rolling route of about 0.8 miles in the Mt. Baker Ranger District of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington, managed by the Forest Service. It is an easy out-and-back, with a high point of about 2,468 feet and a total climb of about 525 feet, making it a gentle addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding area. The road begins at a low point of about 2,278 feet. It rises steadily, with the steepest stretch around the quarter-mile mark, where the grade reaches about 16 percent. That brief steepness passes quickly, and the route then eases into rolling terrain before returning to the starting point. Several other outings sit close by. The Heliotrope Ridge hike and the paddling on Glacier Creek are both within about 2 miles. Douglas Fir Campground is about 5 miles away, and the Heliotrope Ridge Trail offers another hiking option at a similar distance.
