Glacier National Park Webcams

The official Glacier National Park webcams sit on one National Park Service page, with cameras at Apgar, Lake McDonald, the West Entrance, Logan Pass, Many Glacier, St. Mary and Two Medicine. The same page carries a Night Sky Cam video that merges images taken every few minutes each night above the park.

Glacier National Park Webcams on the Official List

Every official camera feed is on the park's webcams page, which lists every view plus a video of last night's sky. Each entry has a short description of the scene and a View Webcam button that opens the live image. The list was last updated September 21, 2026.

Glacier faces challenges with connectivity in some areas. Recent upgrades and support from the Glacier National Park Conservancy keep many of the park's popular places on screen.

West Side Cameras at Apgar, Lake McDonald and the West Entrance

The west side cameras are spread between Apgar, Park Headquarters and West Glacier. For many visitors this is their first look at the park. The Lake McDonald guide covers what to do once you are standing there.

• Lake McDonald 2: a newer camera that pans and zooms, so the scene changes as staff aim it at different parts of the Lake McDonald Valley.
• Apgar Mountain: looks northeast from the summit over Lake McDonald to Stanton Mountain, Mt. Vaught and the Garden Wall, where the Continental Divide follows the crest. Apgar Lookout at the summit is one of the more popular west side hikes.
• Apgar Village: the summer hub of the west side, with the park's largest campground, gift shops, a restaurant, lodging and boat rentals.
• Apgar Visitor Center Plaza: the main information stop in summer. The visitor center closes in winter, but displays and publications stay out in the plaza.
• Middle Fork of the Flathead River: the river that forms the park's southwest border, flowing under the West Glacier bridge. Watch for rafters in summer and the lights of West Glacier after dark.
• Park Headquarters: the park's first webcam, meant as a test that stayed. Look for the resident deer, and in some early summers, beargrass blooming in the forest.
• West Entrance: a good indicator of how busy things may be inside the park. In summer it shows the line of cars waiting to enter, and it doubles as a read on the weather in West Glacier.

Logan Pass Cameras on Going-to-the-Sun Road

Three cameras watch Logan Pass, the highest point on Going-to-the-Sun Road. The pass has a visitor center, restrooms, potable water, shuttle service and the trailheads for the Hidden Lake and Highline trails. The Glacier National Park Conservancy partners with the park on all three, and its website shows the three side by side.

• Logan Pass Parking Lot: the lot itself, with Mt. Pollock and Going-to-the-Sun Mountain behind it. In summer, park parking lots often fill by early morning, so this view tells you how full the lot looks right now.
• Logan Pass 1: the start of the Hidden Lake Trail. Hikers walk 1.4 miles to the Hidden Lake Overlook, or continue another 1.2 miles and drop 780 feet to the lake's north shore.
• Logan Pass 2: two views each day. It first aims down the St. Mary Valley for sunrise, then swings east to the meadows beneath Mount Reynolds and the short paved nature trail around the visitor center.

If you want to see the alpine light without the drive, open Logan Pass 2 near dawn and catch the sunrise view before it swings away.

East Side Cameras at Many Glacier, St. Mary and Two Medicine

On the east side, cameras watch Many Glacier, St. Mary and Two Medicine. Many Glacier, often called the Heart of the Park, gets two of them.

Many Glacier

The first Many Glacier camera looks across Swiftcurrent Lake to Grinnell Point, with the Swiftcurrent Valley to the right and the valley leading up to the Grinnell Glacier Trail to the left. The Many Glacier Hotel sits on the lakeshore. The second camera faces Mt. Wilbur, with Swiftcurrent Peak and a sliver of the cirque that holds Iceberg Lake. That hike runs about 10 miles round trip with roughly 1,200 feet of climbing, and the trail may be closed for bear activity when you arrive.

St. Mary

The St. Mary Visitor Center camera can be moved by park staff, so the view shifts. The park hopes to show elk up close in fall and winter, along with tighter shots of the mountains and the entrance station.

Two Medicine

One camera near the Two Medicine campground shows Sinopah Mountain, with Lone Walker Mountain to its right. The second looks northwest to Rising Wolf Mountain, above a trail that follows Two Medicine Lake, climbs to Dawson Pass, then runs north along the Continental Divide to Pitamakan Pass.

The Night Sky Cam

The Night Sky Cam records Glacier after dark by taking an image every few minutes all night and merging them into a single video. The webcams page posts the video from last night. For anyone who sleeps through the dark hours, the video shows what a night over Glacier looks like, and the stargazing guide covers how to plan that night.

A second sky camera, the Dusty Star Observatory Sky Cam at the St. Mary Visitor Center, is offline while a new observatory is installed. The park says it will be back in the near future, so use the nightly Night Sky video in the meantime.

To watch the same sky live, Dark Light Collection is building glass pyramids near Glacier on private land within 15 minutes of the West Entrance, opening in 2027. Each one has a private deck with a personal telescope.

What Glacier National Park Webcams Can and Cannot Show

A webcam is best at answering what a place looks like right now. The West Entrance camera shows whether cars are backed up, and the Logan Pass lot camera shows how full the pass looks. The West Entrance camera is also a good indicator of weather in West Glacier, and the Middle Fork camera may show rafters in summer.

A camera cannot tell you whether a road or trail is open. Most park roads are open only seasonally, and the Iceberg Lake Trail may be closed due to bear activity. During extreme congestion, the park may also restrict access to whole areas for a time, which no single camera will show.

The moving cameras add one more limit. Lake McDonald 2 and the St. Mary camera are re-aimed by staff, so the view you open may not be the one you wanted. For anything about access, use the road report described below.

Road and Weather Checks to Pair with Glacier National Park Webcams

Pair every camera check with the park's road status map, which shows road, hiker and biker, and entrance closures plus snowplow status. That report can fall behind when conditions change quickly. For faster updates, text GNPROADS to 333111 to get road opening and closure alerts on your phone.

Going-to-the-Sun Road follows its own calendar:

• It is open year-round near the West Entrance.
• The whole road does not usually open until late June at the earliest.
• The alpine sections typically close for winter around the third Monday of October, and wintry weather can close them earlier.

Roads outside the park can be seasonal too, and the Montana Department of Transportation keeps its own map for them. There are no fueling stations within Glacier's boundaries. For temperatures and snow by season, read the Glacier weather guide.

Before your next drive, open the Glacier National Park webcams for the area you are heading to, then check that same route on the road status map.
