Most Photographed View In The Smokies (Maggie Valley, NC)

Soco Crafts can be found on 19 just outside Maggie Valley on the way to Cherokee. The store opened in 1947 and the 9-story observation tower was added in 1988.



Personally, we have a hard time believing that something that's been around for less than 30 years can be responsible for the most photographed view. But then again, we paid our fifty cents and climbed to the top of the tower to snap a few pics, so maybe they are right.



By the way, if you have a spare 400K burning a hole in your pocket, Soco Crafts is for sale.
