Big views, big opportunities! Taking a moment to appreciate the beautiful scenery from Watauga Campus this evening. 🐍

Thanks for sharing, WataugaOnline! 🙌

⛅ A BEAUTIFUL JUNE AFTERNOON IN THE HIGH COUNTRY

That view never gets old.

This screenshot was captured at 5:44 PM Thursday from the we**am at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute— and it's a reminder of just how spectacular this part of North Carolina is on a clear summer day.

The Blue Ridge rises in the background, layered and green against a partly cloudy sky with classic summer cumulus building along the ridgeline. The valleys below are fully leafed out in deep June green — as lush as this region gets all year.
