21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Corn Maze in the Appalachian Mountains

We wanted to head to the Blue Ridge Mountains to enjoy the fall foliage . However, Appalachian State was having their homecoming game and the roads into and out of Boone were very crowded. We wondered around the side roads skirting Boone and found this corn maze in a town called Valle Crusis which was located in a beautiful mountain valley. We spent the whole afternoon there and enjoyed the Mast General Store goodies down the road after we finished!
