On the reverse of this image is written, "'Hell Ridge' - Tennessee side, at left, was so steep we had to go thru the burned-over mess on the North Carolina side until we got within 1 1/2 or 2 miles of Mt. Guyot, when we picked up the trail (on Tenn. Side) which leads from Cosby to Mt. Guyot. Mt. Sterling in the background. Guy Frizzell wearing colored glasses to protect his eyes from glare of sun. Walter Berry looks longingly down to Big Creek - wishing he could go down and 'waller' in it. - Warner Hall 8-9-32." Warner Hall was a key figure in preserving what became Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.The photograph is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club which 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."
