They collect the debris cast off by the mountains, and use this to carve a trough through the landscape. In their headwaters they form a curious feature called a cirque (cwym in Welsh?) and this is a steep basin like shape in which the headwall is near vertical.

Would most features of alpine glaciation be preserved in the geologic record?
Depends on what is meant by the word 'features'. Alpine glaciation tends to create certain recognizable features like cirques and U-shaped valleys, and the sediments plucked by the glaciation can be traced back to their source by careful examination.

Where can you find metamorphic rock?
== == Metamorphic rocks can be found at great depths within the Earth's crust, at the base of mountains, or in contact zones where plutonic intrusions have metamorphosed the host rock via high temperatures. Metamorphic rocks can indeed be found at great depths within the crust, but for a rockhound, finding them elsewhere is not a problem. Areas that have experienced previous glaciation (as far south as Central Illinois in the last period of glaciation) are full of metamorphic erratic rocks, transported and dropped by the ice. Visitors to Colorado can find an abundance of metamorphic rocks in the eroded Rocky Mountains, many dating to the Pre-Cambrian. Californians, too can collect meta's in eroded mountains and in formations such as the San Onofre Breccia. No glaciation? Look around eroded mountains.
