This photograph pictures hikers along the Alum Cave Trail (also called Alum Cave Bluff Trail). The trail ascends Mount LeConte, the 3rd highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, topping out at 6,593 ft. The picture was made by Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), a founding member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association and author of “Birth of a National Park,” published in 1960. 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.

Campbell, Carlos C. (Carlos Clinton), 1892-1978
