This image of people gathered around an automobile parked to the side of a road with mountains in the distance, has written on the reverse, "Stekoah Gap (Graham County, N.C.) about 6 or 7 miles eastward from Robbinsville, N.C. and between Wauchecha Bald and Cheoah Bald. The Appalachian Trail crosses this Gap at right angles. Harriet Fowlkes, Harvey Broom, Tom DeWine and four Boy Scouts in picture. - Dutch Roth 6-26-32." The photograph is in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. The photographer, Albert Gordon "Dutch" Roth (1890-1974), was an employee of the Southern Railroad and an avid photographer. The club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Established in Knoxville, Tennessee, the first official club hike was led by Roth in December 1924.
