The Area
High Country
 The High Country is an amazing region of the Western North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains. The area is named for the high rising mountain peaks and high elevations of most of the communities and towns that are located within the region. The High Country region spans from
Blowing Rock all the way to the highest elevations in the region atop
Beech Mountain (elevation 5,506 feet). It encompasses communities, towns, and cities such as
Boone NC,
Banner Elk North Carolina,
Blowing Rock North Carolina,
Sugar Mountain NC, and
Beech Mountain NC, and primarily spans two counties: Watauga County and Avery County. Most people consider Boone North Carolina, where
Appalachian State University is located, the "heart" of the High Country. Small towns and resort areas such as Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, and Beech Mountain are highly visited areas where many like to vacation and others are lucky enough to have second homes. This region is growing by leaps and bounds and we provide some of the best shots in the area from the
Boone Web Cams,
Blowing Rock Web Cams,
Banner Elk Web Cams, and
Ski Resort Cams. We invite you to learn more about the areas in which some of our most popular
Mountain Cams are located. Click to read about Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, and Beech Mountain. Recently,
Ashe County NC, which is located a few miles outside of
Boone NC, has experienced a great deal of growth and it is more common for locals to consider it part of the High Country region. Click to see the
Ashe County Web Cams!
We also have cameras set up in a variety of other locations that surround the High Country and in regions that are farther away. We anticipate the site growing a great deal in the coming months and look forward to providing new shots of other place. Currently, you can click to see cameras such as the
Lake James Web Cam,
Morganton NC Web Cam, and
Spruce Pine Web Cam, all of which are located in the
North Carolina Foothills and other areas that surround the High Country. Click to read about these special places and check out helpful resources for trip planning, real estate searches, and more!
