This photograph was taken on top of the Sugarland Mountains showing flag-like ice formations swinging from the side of the twigs, the result of freezing mists during a strong west wind. The picture, 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. The photographer is unknown. The back of the picture is stamped “Jim Thompson Co.,” indicating it was probably printed by hiking club member James E. (Jim) Thompson (1880-1976).
