Chimney Tops

Description

Paul M. Fink (1892-1980) of Jonesborough, Tennessee, was an early advocate for the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This collection of photographs from 1914 through the 1930s was taken while Fink thoroughly explored the Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding area. A banker and a conservationist, Fink kept a journal of his explorations and published his entries in Backpacking Was the Only Way (1975). On the back of this undated photograph, Fink wrote: Top of "Chimneys". Note the trail leading to the top between the "tough shrubs and bracken". This picture was taken with the Kodak at an angle - the ascent here was fully 45 degree. Climb on hands and knees here!
