March 1 MOUNT MINGUS AND INDIAN GAP Hikers climb mountains for reasons admitted, uncon- fessed, and unnameable. The inarticulate may go simply because they want to, and leave it at that. Some may tramp because tramping brings a relief from the monotony of ev- ery-day living. Some like to study out the mazes of ridges as an intellectual problem. The elemental combat demanded by a good steep climb is sufficient reason for others. Most hikers warm to the comradeship of the trail. A few en- joy the occasional bizarre encounters with curious beliefs and customs in anachronistic communities. And there are those, not all, who acknowledge an indefinable feeling of the fitness of things, even to exaltation, before the beauties of the highlands. A number of these reasons will be fulfilled on this trip. Mt. Mingus is an unusual mountain, and an outstanding one. It has its cathedral aisles through regal balsams. It has its quaint groves of stubby beeches. It has its steep sides and trails which call for strenuous exertion. It stands guard above the dainty Indian Gap and helps to keep the boisterous Road Prong in its channel. But overshadowing these there is an appeal which is a part of Mingus and yet has nothing to do with it. With many prime traits of its own, it yields to a mountain which carries the birthright of the Smokies. And though Mingus is forever denied this right for itself, this mountain is indispensable to the greatest realization of this other greater mountain. We refer to the magnificent broadside views of Mt. LeConte which can only be had to greatest advantage from Mt. Mingus. LeConte is too vast to be comprehended as one battles its sides; it may even evoke maledictions. Though underfoot, it is forgotten in the vast sweep of mountains revealed from its summits. It remains for Mingus to furnish the views which do it greatest justice. Through countless cycles of weathering LeConte has survived. Through endless eons of biologic striving, it has gone unrecognized. It was left for man dumbly to appreciate it. There it stands, a stupendous blue bulk, cubic miles in content, countless millenniums in age, stark, se- 18

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.
