Pictured here (L to R) are Helen Northup, Nina Shipe, and Walter Berry looking toward Hughes Ridge from the lead which extends from Tyre Top down to Wesser Station. The photograph is included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club which formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. The picture was taken by Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), a founding member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association and author of “Birth of a National Park.” 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.
