On the reverse of this image is written, "Looking eastward along the Tennessee - North Carolina state line ( Appalachian Trail ) from the 'gantlot' at Rich Gap - near Gregory Bald, we see Thunderhead, Silers Bald and Clingmans Dome. - Roth - March 12, 1933" In 2024 Clingmans Dome was restored to its original name of Kuwohi. The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Formally established in Knoxville, Tennessee, the first official club hike was led by Dutch Roth in December 1924. An employee of the Southern Railroad, Albert Gordon "Dutch" Roth (1890-1974) was an avid photographer. Hiking most weekends, Roth carried a Kodak camera and sometimes brought along a heavy tripod. His photographs capture long distance views of the Great Smoky Mountains and document the early activities of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. Stamp on the back of photograph: Jim Thompson Co.
