Welcome

This is Yellowstone National Park’s first video web cam. This full-motion, live-streaming webcam is located near Old Faithful Geyser and brings online visitors views of several other geysers in the area. When geysers such as Beehive, Lion, or Giantess are erupting, the camera will be aimed at them and zoomed in for optimal viewing enjoyment. When bison, elk, coyotes, or the occasional bear wander into the camera’s view, live video images will be transmitted. We hope you enjoy your virtual park experience!

If you have questions about or problems viewing the live stream, check our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information.

Look for information about new features and programs, including online live ranger programs.

This webcam is made possible by a donation from Canon U.S.A to the Yellowstone Park Foundation. Learn more about Yellowstone Park Foundation's mission and Canon U.S.A.'s support for projects in Yellowstone National Park.

There are more people hurt by bison than by bears each year in Yellowstone. Park regulations state that visitors must stay at least 25 yards away from bison or elk and 100 yards away from bears.
