ScienceBase caption:  Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Mills moraine, viewed from Twin Sisters. The glacier originated in The Chasm on the east slope of Longs Peak and was about 4 miles long. The rock debris carried out of The Chasm was dropped chiefly at the sides, building up the ridges shown. The moraines range in altitude from 9,500 feet at their base to nearly 12,000 feet. July 27, 1916. Plate 5-B, U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 730-A.

Paradise Glacier Terminal Moraine, Mt. Rainier National Park, Autumn 1996.

As I have not had a chance to hike near Paradise in more than a decade, and given the general retreat of mid-latitude glaciers due to climate change, I would imagine the terminal moraine is now much larger and the snout of the glacier much higher up the slope than when this photo was shot.
