This photograph of hikers on Myrtle Point, taken by Harvey Broome, is in the collection of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. Club member Harvey Benjamin Broome (1902-1968) was a Knoxville attorney and avid conservationist who advocated for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Myrtle Point is a popular lookout on Mount LeConte, the 3rd highest peak in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, topping out at 6,593 ft.
