On the reverse of this image is written, "Looking southward up gorge of Cheoah River (above Tapoco, N.C.) from Appalachian Trail 1 mile north of Tapoco. - Roth July 24, 1932 ." 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.
