This photograph shows markers indicating the Appalachian Trail at the North Carolina-Tennessee state line along Hughes Ridge. The photograph was made in 1926 by Albert Gordon "Dutch" Roth (1890-1974), an avid photographer and one of the founders of the hiking club. The picture is in the collection of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, an organization that formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924.
