PROGRAM OF HIKES January 4 MOUNT ALEXANDER (PROPOSED MOUNT KEPHART) For our first 1931 hike, this is a splendid trip, since it is a new hike for the club and a comparatively easy one. In driving to the starting point, we go over the magnificent new Indian Gap Highway out to Newfound Gap on the state line. The Indian Gap road leaves the loop road at the bridge halfway between Gatlinburg and Elkmont, and it is fifteen miles out to Newfound Gap which has an elevation of 5100 feet. The trail we take starts east to the left from the gap, and we follow the state line out to Mount Alexander. Our trail marking committee has marked this trail, and as we follow it we catch glimpses through occasional openings in the trees of fine distances. The view of LeConte is especially good. The hike is about three and a half miles long, and it will take about two hours to reach the precipice. Upon reaching Mount Alexander, we find that the state line turns abruptly to the right and down a steep grade. A large tree has been blazed here with an arrow on which the words "State Line" have been painted with white paint. When you reach Mount Alexander, continue straight ahead for about one hundred yards until you come to a bluff with a sheer drop estimated to be from 1500 to 2000 feet. From this point you have a stunning outlook. Below you on the state line is Dry Sluice Gap- A picturesque valley lies between the gap and the town of Greenbrier. On a clear day Greenbrier Pinnacle and Pitt- man Center can be seen in the distance. Over on the left lies LeConte. Beyond Dry Sluice Gap in North Carolina is Hughes Ridge to which we shall hike in July. Luma- daha and Guyot are beyond Hughes Ridge on the state line. In the distance in front of you is Mount Sterling 12
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.
