Virtual Park

Yellowstone National Park currently has four webcams. If you can't come see Old Faithful erupt in person, you can view it online. Between eruptions, stop in at the Mammoth Hot Springs Webcams to see what's happening elsewhere in Yellowstone.

 

Our newest edition -- live, streaming video

Old Faithful Geyser Live! is the park's first video webcam. This full-motion, live-streaming webcam is operated remotely and allows visitors to view geysers and wildlife in real time.

Go to the Old Faithful Geyser Live! webcam page.

This is the first webcam to be installed in the park. Like its big brother above, it provides views of the parade ground outside of the Albright Visitor Center, with the terraces in the background. It's aimed so that people can wave to their family and friends back home.

Did You Know?
Some groups of Shoshone Indians, who adapted to a mountain existence, chose not to acquire the horse. These included the Sheep Eaters, or Tukudika, who used dogs to transport food, hides, and other provisions. The Sheep Eaters lived in many locations in Yellowstone.
