Summer is winding down. Maybe some of you went to one of America’s beautiful National Parks for vacation. Or maybe some of you are planning your next National Park getaway.
Ever wonder what your favorite park looks like at this very moment? I stumbled upon a great website that has live webcams at some of America’s most popular parks. The National Park Service operates the site, which is actually for measuring air quality. But go ahead and ignore all that mumbo jumbo about air quality. Just click on your favorite park and be transported to a relaxing moment with Mother Nature.
Take in the beautiful vistas of Grand Canyon National Park. Relive your family’s Washington DC vacation by taking a peak at the Lincoln Memorial and National Monument. Wonder if the leaves are changing yet in Great Smoky Mountain National Park? Check out their two webcams. California dreaming? Take a look at the Point Reyes cam.
Check out these webcams by going to www.nature.nps.gov/air/WebCams. There are live shots of Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, National Mall, Great Smoky Mountains, Point Reyes, Big Bend, Denali (in the summer), Mount Rainer, Olympic National Park, Acadia, North Cascades, Sequoia, and Theodore Roosevelt Parks.
But the best National Park webcam of all can be found by clicking on this site: www.nps.gov/archive/yell/oldfaithfulcam.htm. Why?
You get to see live shots of Old Faithful – watch it erupt just like you did when you visited Yellowstone National Park!! There is even an eruption prediction in the upper left hand corner. Plus there are links to webcams at Mammoth Hot Springs and Mount Washburn.
Enjoy!!
