What this camera shows

This live video feed provides a direct look at traffic flow at the base of the ascent, sitting at an elevation of 4,723 feet. Because this camera captures a real-time stream, it reveals whether vehicles are moving freely or encountering sudden backups at the off-ramp intersection. Watching the traffic here helps determine if conditions lower down are clear, even if the higher elevations appear more challenging. It serves as a crucial baseline for the start of the climb, confirming if the pavement remains visible or if initial moisture is beginning to accumulate before the road gains significant altitude.

Compared to the camera at Thomas Creek, which sits at 5,207 feet, this view often shows milder conditions. If this feed displays wet or clear pavement while the higher camera shows snow, drivers can anticipate a transition zone where conditions worsen as they climb. Checking both feeds provides a complete picture of the changing environment, allowing for a better assessment of whether to proceed or delay travel.
