On the reverse of this image is written, "Old Mt. Guyot seemed to keep getting farther and farther away as we trod wearily along that Hell Ridge in a broiling hot sun. Walter Berry almost yields to the temptation to go down and 'waller' in Deep Creek- a mere drink not being enough for him. Walter Berry photo 8-8-32." 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.,” 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.
