Glacier Mountain is in the center of a considerable drainage system, contributing to the three principal streams of the region, Fortymile, Seventymile, and Mission creeks. Trickling streams emanating from small snowbanks on its sides flow in various directions to add to the volume of these three important tributaries of the Yukon. On the east Excelsior, Seward, and Utah creeks flow into Mission Creek; on the north are Bryant and Mogul creeks, both flowing into Seventymile; and on the south and west Comet Creek and others start toward Fortymile. The mountain itself is a mass of granite.
