This photograph of a virgin hardwood forest along the Rainbow Falls to Rocky Spur trail is on the way up to Mount LeConte. 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.” The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924.
