Smoky Mountains Hiking Club of Knoxville

This photograph, a view from Hughes Ridge, is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club The numbered peaks are: 1. Thomas Ridge 2. Andrews Bald 3. Clingman's Dome 4. Mt. Collins and 5. Richland Mountain. In 2024 Clingmans Dome was restored to its original name of Kuwohi. The photograph was taken by Albert Gordon "Dutch" Roth (1890-1974), an avid photographer and one of the founders of the club. The club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. 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), a professional photographer who played a major role in promoting a national park in the Southern Appalachians.
