This live camera looks out from the Pisgah Inn area on the Blue Ridge Parkway, high in the mountains of western North Carolina. It is useful for checking whether the ridges are clear, foggy or wrapped in cloud before you drive the scenic route. The page also shows local time and the current forecast for the nearby mountains.
Pisgah Inn sits on a ridge of the Pisgah National Forest at roughly 1,500 metres, along the Blue Ridge Parkway that threads through the southern Appalachians. The area is known for forested slopes, long views across layered ridgelines and a cooler climate than the valleys below. The inn has long served travellers on this stretch of road, and the surrounding national forest is one of the most visited in the eastern United States.
The camera points toward the mountain landscape, so the main thing to follow is the sky and the air over the ridges. Morning often brings valley fog that lifts through the day, while late afternoon light can pick out the folds of the hills. Autumn is a popular season for watching colour change, and winter views can be sharp after a cold front. Depending on the view at any moment, you may see cloud drifting across the slopes or a clear horizon.
Summers are mild for the region but weather in the mountains can change quickly, so check the forecast on this page before setting out. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable times to drive the parkway, though some sections close during winter storms. Asheville, about 18 km away, is the nearest city, and other cameras in the region, including Glenville and Mars Hill, can help you compare conditions along the route.

Morning fog and late afternoon light are often the most interesting, and autumn brings strong colour. Clear days after a front usually give the sharpest views of the ridges.
