Backpack Yosemite's South Rim

Enjoy a Virtual Visit to Our Nation’s Scenic Locations and Public Lands

Webcam Roundup

Need a lift? While we’re all self-isolating and keeping our distance from others, you can still enjoy the beauty and serenity of nature through these webcams in our National and State Parks and other scenic locations.

Here are a few of our favorites to enjoy as we wait patiently to depart on our next nature-centered vacation.

Yosemite National Park

There’s nothing like the assortment of epic views at Yosemite National Park. Here, you’ll have several webcams to take a look at – from the iconic Half Dome and El Capitan to views of the family-favorite Badger Pass Ski Area.

Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve

This webcam view is at Bartlett Cove, right below Glacier Bay Lodge. This is also where visitors to the park will leave for the Glacier Bay Day Tour. Note the huge change in the tides at Bartlett Cove during certain times of the month, Glacier Bay has some of the most extreme tide ranges in the world.

Monterey Bay Webcam

Looking for some serenity from the California coast? The Monterey Bay Aquarium offers several great webcams (hello Sea Otters!) but you can also enjoy the endless waves from the webcams located on the Aquarium’s ocean-view decks.
