This live camera looks out over West Yellowstone, the town that serves as the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. It is a useful way to check conditions at the gateway before you drive in. The page also shows local time and current weather with a three-day forecast.
A gateway town in the mountains
West Yellowstone sits at about 2,000 metres in southwestern Montana, close to the park boundary and the Idaho border. The town grew around the railway and the tourist trade that followed the park's opening, and today it lives on visitors heading into Yellowstone. Forests of lodgepole pine surround the area, and the mountains rise in the distance, giving the streets a quiet, alpine feel for much of the year.
What to watch and when
The camera shows the northern view from the Yellowstone West Gate Hotel, so you can follow the flow of traffic, the weather moving over the ridges and the changing light through the day. Mornings often bring clear skies before afternoon clouds build, and winter snow can change the scene quickly. Depending on the view, you may see wildlife crossing near the edge of town, especially at dawn and dusk.
Planning a visit
Summers are short and pleasant, with warm days and cool nights, while winters are long, cold and snowy. Many visitors come in summer for hiking and wildlife, and in winter for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Other cameras in town show nearby streets and hotels, which helps you judge road and crowd conditions before heading into the park.
