Which Fourth of July Pass cameras should I check?

Idaho 511 publishes several views at the summit, plus Cataldo on the valley floor east of the pass. Check the summit first. If a picture failed to load, use the official Idaho 511 map.

Is Fourth of July Pass the same as Lookout Pass?

No. They are the two I-90 summits between Coeur d'Alene and Montana: Fourth of July first, then the Silver Valley, then Lookout Pass at the state line. Clear at one does not mean clear at the other.

The first of two summits

Driving east from Coeur d’Alene, Fourth of July is the first of two I-90 summits — the second is Lookout Pass at the Montana line, with the Silver Valley between them. Commuters between Coeur d’Alene and the Silver Valley cross Fourth of July every day, and clear at one summit does not mean clear at the other.

Why I-90 can be closed when the picture looks fine

A clear picture does not cancel a chain requirement. Idaho closes or restricts I-90 for crashes, spun-out trucks, and snow removal on the grades. Night glare can look like ice, and an old picture can lie. The posted status always wins.

Check again before you leave

The I-90 Idaho traffic desk keeps the official link and the full camera walk in one place.
