Cades Cove is a quiet valley on the Tennessee side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Once populated, today, the area is popular with tourists visiting the park. This photograph is in the collection of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, a group formed in the fall of 1924 after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte. Enjoying the spectacular views, they decided to form a hiking club. The club was formally organized in Knoxville, Tennessee. Early club members included Carlos Campbell; Paul Adams, builder of Mount LeConte Lodge; author Laura Thornborough; Paul Fink, who served on the Park’s nomenclature committee; and Albert “Dutch” Roth. Jim Thompson was their “official” photographer.
