This photograph, of Cheoah Bald (right) as seen from the Appalachian Trail between Wesser and Wesser Bald, is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. The picture was taken by Guy E. Frizzell, a member of the hiking club. 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. The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924.
