including the transmountain highway from Gatlinburg, Tenn., to Bryson City, N. C, via Cherokee. Clingmans Dome Highway reaches an altitude of 6,311 feet, the highest highway in the East. Twenty-five miles of secondary roads and 675 miles of horse and foot trails are open to the public for hiking and riding. The park highways offer exceptional opportunities to view the grandeur of the Great Smokies. The transpark highway crosses the mountain range, and spur roads to trails lead to many points of interest. There are trails of all types to suit the individual requirements of park visitors. Some are four feet wide on easy gradients; some are improved foot paths; others merely a track through the forest. All are marked with directional signs. Hikers using graded trails need not wear any special hiking clothes, since well-traveled trails are maintained clear of brush and are drained. There are 8 trailside shelters along the 71-mile Appalachian Trail from Davenport Gap to Newfound Gap (31 miles), and Newfound Gap to Deals Gap (40 miles). These are nearly equally spaced for easy one-day hiking trips. Shelters are closed on three sides, and provided with six bunks. A fireplace is in front and a spring nearby. Camping at shelter cabins is restricted to one night unless inclement weather does not permit leaving next day. Please help to keep the park clean. Do not scatter papers, picnic remnants, etc.; throw all trash into receptacles in

This 32-page booklet, simply titled, “Great Smoky National Park” was produced between 1935 and 1945. The booklet begins with a description of how the park was created, beginning with the 1899 effort by the Appalachian National Park Association to Congressional approval in 1926 and the significant financial donation made by the Rockefeller family. The booklet includes mention of mountain people and the Cherokee people living on the adjacent Qualla Boundary. Other topics include plant and animal life, weather, elevations, camping, trails, and trail rules. A “Travel Index” lists distances to various peaks from two park entrances and a schematic map shows relative elevations. Fifteen full-page, hand-colored photographs depict scenes in the park, including two of the “loop-over” road.
