themselves at home there. But though the officers have vetoed it this year, they did so through no fear of moral decay on the part of the membership, but for the reason that Huggins Hell is a "brawr"-infested, ivy-barriered, boulder-strewn, water-soaked, viewless concentration of exasperation and torture which for the average hiker is neither interesting nor beautiful. Its chief interest to one not specializing in botany, geology, or skin lacerations lies in its name. However, as sop to the adventurous and those with back-sliding tendencies a new hike has been concocted called "Skirting Hell." This will be a personally conducted circumambulation of the entire region along its rim, beginning at the Grassy Patch, and taking in the Alum Cave, LeConte, Myrtle Point, a portion of the Boulevard and the crest of one of those scrawny green ridges on its southern boundary. The thrills of the Alum Cave and the Cliff just above it; the fascination of Echo Point; the alluring charms of a night on LeConte and the views from Myrtle Point; and the dignified beauty of the staid peregrinations of the Boulevard, have been extolled and described in previous publications of the booklet. They will be passed over here. After the comparative security and comfort of the Boulevard have been left behind, the hiker finds himself almost immediately upon a terrifying ridge, honed to a knife-edge by the upheaval which gave it birth, though now deeply nicked and pitted by an age-long battering of the elements. To the right at his very feet is the colossal. V-shaped, tree-clad furrow — Huggins Hell —■ whose upper reaches flatten out at the base of Myrtle Point. To the west is the laurel-capped cone which harbors the Alum Cave Bluff and crags. Farther west and almost lost against a confusing background of rounded summits are the Chimneys. To the left another under-nourished ridge or two protrudes like a knife-blade from the massive foundations of the Boulevard, and beyond is seen the common watershed of the Walker Prong and the Alum Cave Creek. For a half-mile or more the route follows along the very crest of this ridge. After a time the hiker dangles over 25

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.
