LIVE CAMERA NETWORK
Yosemite National Park Webcams — Live
6 live cameras within 15 km of Yosemite Village — Half Dome and the park's own weather. Free, no signup.
The wall every other park page is measured against: six records from the National Park Service feed inside 15 km of Yosemite Village, and five of them are the icons themselves — Half Dome from across the Valley, El Capitan’s wall, the Merced River at Happy Isles under the footbridges, the High Sierra view, and Badger Pass, California’s oldest ski area, for the winter months. The sixth is a small honesty footnote: a record the catalogue names only “Question 6”, an NPS feed entry whose real title never survived the import. It stays in the wall, labelled as found.
Nothing here is a gateway substitute: every camera in this wall comes from the park’s own published feed — the viewpoints in Yosemite Valley and on its rim, gathered into one wall with the Valley’s weather and the day’s sun times for planning around them.
Best time to watch Yosemite
Half Dome catches alpenglow at sunset; El Capitan is a morning wall, lit full-face early. In late winter, when the sun angle lines up, the High Sierra and Valley cameras are where Horsetail Fall watchers check conditions — the wall cannot promise the firefall, but it shows the light and the water honestly.
Sun times are computed for the park's coordinates (37.75, -119.59) in its local timezone — astronomy, not a forecast. Pair them with the live weather above before you plan around them.

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.

How to use the Yosemite wall
- 1Start with the named cameras: the highlights at the top of this page are the wall's anchor viewpoints — open them first for the park itself.
- 2Read the weather like a ranger: the live conditions panel and the cameras together beat any forecast — if the gateway is clear and the viewpoint is in cloud, believe the cameras.
- 3Use the sun times: sunrise and sunset at the park are computed on this page for today. The famous views are edge-of-day views; plan the open around them.
- 4Check the approach, not just the destination: entrance and corridor cameras in the wall show the road you will drive, an hour before you drive it.
