This photograph of clouds rising out of the Road Prong gorge well illustrates how the “Smokies” got its name. This picture was made 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. The photograph is in the collection of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club.
