How often does this camera update?
The still image is a Caltrans camera feed and refreshes about once a minute on this page. Where Caltrans publishes a live stream for the camera, the same card on the homepage and live feed plays video. For current conditions, read this camera together with the summit cameras, since valley and summit weather are often completely different.
One camera is one frame of the drive. Walk the whole corridor on the live camera feed, or check the chain controls before you go.
