This photograph, with others in this series, are included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. This photograph was taken by Harvey Benjamin Broome (1902-1968), Knoxville attorney, an avid conservationist, and advocate for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Broome was active during the early years of the Wilderness Society and was a member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association. An avid writer and author of magazine articles, his journal was published under the title, “Out under the sky of the Great Smokies.” This photograph was taken on the Rocky Spur Trail to Mount LeConte.
