Trails -- Great Smoky Mountains (N.C. and Tenn.)

This 1930 photograph of hikers near Russell Field on the way to Gregory Bald was taken by Guy Frizzell, a member of the Smoky Mountains Hiking 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.
