According to many, the most photographed view in the Smokies is in Maggie Valley.

Early in the evening of October 21st I drove to the 'lookout' on the road out of Maggie Valley (Highway 19) heading toward Cherokee … known as the “most photographed view in the Smokies.” The Soco Craft building at the lookout is closed, but every time I drive by there I think about what a great location it would be for a restaurant serving delicious food.

Very pretty.  Reminds me of some puzzles we used to have - wonder if they were that particular shot?

Susie, You live in such a beautiful place. I just finished rewading Gap Creek. Your picture is what I pictured Gap Creek looking like in my head.  Awesome!!!

Easy to see why this is the most photographed ... the rolling hills and fall colors must provide some great views in all directions.
