This photograph of Jim Thompson and Jas S. Hall hiking the Appalachian Trail is in the collection 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 photograph was made by Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), a founding member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association and author of “Birth of a National Park.” Club member James E. (Jim) Thompson (1880-1976) was a professional photographer who played a major role in promoting a national park in the Southern Appalachians.
