What this camera shows

At 4,569 feet, this camera sits below the primary chain-control points at Mogul and Gold Ranch. Because it is lower in elevation than the control stations located 5 and 9 miles to the west, it often remains clear even when weather conditions deteriorate further up the grade. Monitoring this view helps determine if precipitation is accumulating at the base of the mountain or if the transition to winter conditions is moving down from higher elevations.

As a live video stream, this feed provides real-time updates on traffic flow that static images cannot capture. It serves as a vital indicator for identifying sudden congestion or stoppages that may be developing before travelers reach the higher, more difficult terrain. By observing the movement of vehicles here, one can gauge the current pace of travel and potential delays that might not yet be visible on the cameras located at Lockwood or Fernley.

Chain-control points on I-80

Caltrans does not control the whole road at once — it sets controls at whichever point matches the snow level, so the same storm produces controls at different places on different days. These are the California-side points, highest first:
