This live stream looks out over the Widcat area in Alberta, set at about 1,200 metres above sea level in the foothills west of Calgary. It is useful for anyone checking mountain conditions, cloud cover or snow before a drive into the Rockies.
About the place
Widcat sits in the Alberta foothills, where the flat prairie gives way to forested slopes and the first ridges of the Canadian Rockies. The landscape is shaped by lakes, pine and aspen woods and open meadows, and the wider region is known for its recreation and cottage life. The elevation brings cooler nights and a noticeably different feel from the city of Calgary less than an hour away.
What to watch on the camera
Because the camera is a mountain view, the most useful things to follow are the sky, the light on the ridges and the weather moving over the hills. Mornings often bring calm air and clearer views, while afternoons in summer can build cloud and showers. In winter the slopes may be snow-covered, and in shoulder seasons you may see the change from bare ground to green or white. Exact details depend on the view at the time you are watching.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
Summers are generally mild and winters cold, with snow likely from late autumn to spring, so check the forecast on this page before travelling. Nearby cameras include Water Valley, Canmore, Calgary and Banff, which give you a sense of conditions along the route into the mountains. Banff is the best known of these for visitors heading deeper into the national parks.
