If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to wake up in Gardiner, Montana, with the Yellowstone River right outside your window, this webcam gives you a good idea. The camera faces the river as it winds past town, framed by rugged hills and mountains in the background. It’s a calm, steady view – until the occasional raft floats by or a gust of wind stirs the trees along the banks.
This stretch of the Yellowstone is just outside the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park, and it feels like a gateway to something wilder. You’ll spot a mix of houses and cabins on the far side, giving you that small-town-meets-the-wilderness vibe. Whether it’s a bright sunny day or clouds rolling in over the Absaroka Mountains, there’s something grounding about this scene.
