Return To PCT TrailQuest Home Page





This page contains links (below) to web cams near the PCT in California, Oregon and Washington. Apparently, not all the cams work with all browsers. However, for the ones that work with your browser, they can be useful for checking on weather conditions or if you are just feeling homesick for the trail.

In addition, links for cams that (in my opinion) are worth a click, but not PCT related, are shown near the bottom of the page.

Some of these, mainly the "ski cams", are at commercial sites and may not allow a direct link to be posted to the cams. In other words, they want you to see their ad page first; then you can click on their cam page.

If you know of other cam sites not listed here, or if you have comments or suggestions concerning this page, please contact me via e-mail at
