This live camera looks out over Cooke City, a small mountain community at the northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park. It is a useful window for checking road and snow conditions before heading toward the park or the Beartooth Highway.
A mountain town on the park edge
Cooke City sits at about 2,300 metres in the Absaroka Mountains of southern Montana, close to the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River. The settlement grew around mining and now serves mostly as a base for hikers, anglers and visitors passing through the park. The surrounding peaks, forests and meadows give the town a quiet, remote character that changes sharply with the seasons.
What to watch and when
The view is most informative during the day, when light shows snow cover, cloud movement and traffic on local roads. Winter brings heavy snowfall and long shadows across the slopes, while summer and early autumn show green valleys and clearer skies. Because the camera is a live stream from its owner, image details such as clarity and angle may vary, so check the live player when you arrive.
Climate and getting around
Winters are long and cold, with deep snow, and some roads are restricted or closed for part of the year. The best time to visit is from late June to September, when the Beartooth Highway is usually open. Nearby camera locations include Pebble Creek, about 16 km away, and Red Lodge, roughly 54 km distant, which can help you compare conditions along the route.
