Mt Rainier NP Webcams
MPG V2.7, July 2010

News.-- Occasionally the images from the Webcams don't appear on the Web page here and the NPS Web page. This is do to access problems due to weather, technical problems or delays in acquiring parts or equipment. We just have to understand this and know the Webcams will be back. Kudos goes to the NPS staff for their work in adding and maintaining the Webcams for the public. It's a great tool for both them and us.

The NPS now has four Webcams located in the Jackson Visitors Center, which can be found at their Website and the latest images shown below with links to download the image file (jpg) to your computer (it won't display in a new window). In addition, a new Webcam, also below, was added with a view of the Jackson Visitors Center and the southwest. The Webcam images aren't always current so you have to read the bottom of the image for the date-time stamp, and read the notice with the Webcams on the NPS Web page.

This is the newest Webcam at Paradise. This one is of the Jackson Visitors Center and to the southwest from the Mountain Climb Center on the north side of the parking lot between the center and the Paradise Inn. The camera produces a different size image than the Webcams in the Jackson visitors Center.

Another Webcam is for monitoring air quality, NPS Web page, or click on the image on the right. This Webcam is located in the Tahoma Woods Administration building at Paradise west of the Jackson Visitor Center (above Webcams). The Webcam looks southwest with the road from Longmire to Paradise in the lower right corner of the image.

The Webcam is a 24/7 view and two situations will cause a bad image. The first is if it's dark, it's obvious night, so check the time there. The second is when the camera is down for whatever reason(s) and the NPS will display an old image or a message image. You can also use the "archive view" link to get past images if they're available.

There are other Webcams throughout the Puget Sound area looking at Mt. Rainier or encompassing it in the sweep of the camera across the scene (a Google search will easily return a list). They're not listed here because many are intermitent or not of sufficient quality (distance shot) to be useful for seeing the condition on and around Mt. Rainier.
