Portraits, Group

The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Enjoying the spectacular views, the group returned to establish a formal hiking club to sponsor hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains. The first official club hike was led by Dutch Roth in December 1924. This series includes a detailed description written on the back of each photograph. In this photograph, by Albert Gordon "Dutch" Roth (1890-1974), 11 hikers pose on Hughes Ridge after returning from Three Forks on a Labor Day hike in 1933. At left is Carlos Campbell, author of one of the first books on the history of the park.
