Air Quality

Monitors the air quality over the Nisqually Valley from Paradise. Note that ozone and weather measurements are from the weather station at Paradise; visibility readings are from the weather station at Tahoma Woods, near Ashford, WA.

Open the view

Cameras, images and status messages come from the National Park Service API and open on nps.gov — we link rather than embed, so you always see the park's own current player. Views refresh on the park's schedule, not ours.

WHERE THE CAMERAS ARE

40 parks with cameras

The first number is how many cameras are working now. Every camera opens on nps.gov — we link rather than embed, so you always get the park's own current player, and this page can't break when the Park Service changes it. Data from the NPS API.
