WHY? By PAUL FINK, Jonesboro, Tenn. Why do we want to tramp along Smoky's trails, to climb her lofty ridges and explore her deepest valleys? What impels us to pull on our hiking clothes and strike out into the deep woods? Just what is this charm that lures us from the city's streets to the primeval wilderness? There can be no one answer to this, for each of us may be responding to a different urge. For some it may be an atavistic trace of the old pioneer spirit that actuated our forefathers to leave the comparative comforts of their cabins in the lowlands and strike toward the crests of the high ranges they could see boldly silhouetted against the western sky. The exigencies of a complex modern life may compel us to earn our daily bread in the crowded cities, but now and again we may escape. and as we tread the dim paths of Smoky and gaze out over mile after mile of country that civilization's devastating finger has not touched, we may feel a bit of that thrill that came to Daniel Boone and the other great pioneers as they gazed upon a new land. An interest in tree, plant and flower may attract others. For them it is a paradise indeed, for eminent authorities agree that there is no richer collecting ground on the American continent, that nowhere else in a similar area can so many different species of plant life be found. Here in the short space of a few hours' climb from the low valleys to the summit of the peaks towering above them, one passes through every floral zone from sub-tropic to sub-Arctic. Here, rooted in a rich soil and watered by abundant rainfall, tree, shrub and plant have attained their maximum development. If it be simple, unspecialized Nature-study, where can be found a better field than Smoky? Beside its unrivalled plant life, through its forests sport myriads of birds of every size, from the great bald eagle and the wild turkey, king of game birds, to the tiniest of wood warblers, no larger than one's thumb. Plentiful, but more tim-
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

In 1926, the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club began to print an annual handbook that outlined scheduled hikes for each month of the year, including winter. This 1931 handbook was collected by George Masa (1881-1933), a photographer active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Smoky Mountains Hiking Club was formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. Enjoying the spectacular views, the group returned to establish a formal hiking club to sponsor regularly-scheduled hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains.
