For the past few days, since a portion of the country was graced with total solar eclipse, social media has been ablaze with outstanding imagery capturing the once in a lifetime phenomenon.
Fortunately for us, the eclipse’s “path of totality” cut a wide path straight through the heart of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains, allowing many of our readers to photograph and share their eclipse experiences.
But before it reached our humble hills, the eclipse made its stunning presence known in the Cascades of the Pacific Northwest before reaching the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho and then the Tetons of northwestern Wyoming.
Below are 10 of our favorite perspectives of the eclipse in the Blue Ridge and far beyond.
