These are all updated in real time, courtesy of the National Park Service.



This view is the Apgar visitor center area, basically the "main street" of Glacier National Park. The area is an activity hub offering lodging, food, guide services, great boating on Lake McDonald and a sandy beach with crystal clear water. Apgar campground is a short walk away.

The Apgar area is the western side of Glacier National Park, at an elevation of around 3,158 feet.



This is the Apgar Mountain cam, with an impressive view of Lake McDonald and the lush, green west side. The elevation from the lookout is around 5,000 feet. That's 2,000 feet higher than the elevation of Lake McDonald.



Here is Lake McDonald itself. This beautiful lake is 7,038 acres with a maximum depth of 472 feet with an elecation of 3,153 feet. This is a great spot for boating.

This is the park headquarters cam in the Apgar area. Just a simple webcam of a picnic area in the lush west side forest.



The osprey cam! This webcam is fairly new and gives the viewer some close up action on the osprey in the St. Mary area on the eastern side of Glacier National Park. You should have no trouble seeing osprey in most of Glacier near rivers and lakes.



This is the St. Mary webcam, loacated right at the entrance station on the eastern side of the park. The elevation here is considerably higher than Apgar on the west side, about 1500 feet higher at 4,500.



Here is the impressive Two Medicine webcam. This is right smack dab in the middle of Two Medicine campground itself.  I've seen bear at this spot in the fall, casually walking right down the campsite road. Two Medicine is at 5,175 feet. The dominant peak in the image is Sinopah, which also happens to be the name the boat that does the Two Medicine Lake tours just a short walk from the campground. Sinopah mountain is 8,271 feet and is one of the most impressive sights you will see in the entire national park system.



The final webcam is the famous Goat Haunt area. The view shows both Canadian and U.S. land. Goat Haunt is in the far nothern part of Glacier National Park bordering Waterton Park.
