This live camera looks out over West Yellowstone, the gateway town on the western edge of Yellowstone National Park. The stream is embedded from its source, the RV Ski trail, so you can judge the sky and snow conditions for yourself before planning a trip.
West Yellowstone sits at roughly 2,000 metres in southwest Montana, close to the park entrance and the Idaho border. The town grew around tourism, and it is best known as a base for visiting Yellowstone, with its geysers, wildlife and hot springs. The surrounding landscape is high, open country of forest, meadow and river valleys, with mountains rising on the horizon in most directions.
Because the view is tied to a mountain location, conditions change quickly. Depending on the view, you may see clear mountain light in the morning, afternoon clouds building over the ridges, or fresh snow in winter. Early and late hours are often the most interesting, when the light is low and the shadows are long. Watching the live picture is a quick way to check whether a day outdoors is likely to be comfortable.
Winters are long and cold, with heavy snow that makes West Yellowstone a well-known base for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Summers are short, mild and the most popular season for park visits, though afternoon storms are common. Nearby cameras on this site include Island Park, a short drive to the west, and the Old Faithful view inside Yellowstone, about 31 km away.
