sundown, go to the summit and watch the sunset, it will repay many times even the most weary. The most inspiring sight that one can witness is the sunrise from Myrtle Point. The sun is due to rise over Mt. Guyot at 4:15 A. M., but it is quite light by 4 o'clock. In order to reach the Point in time to witness the sunrise, you should leave the cabins by 3:30 a. m. The distance is .7 of a mile. From Myrtle Point most all of the Park area lying in Tennessee can be seen. All the major peaks are visible as well as innumerable coves and valleys. After observing the sunrise you will realize why Robert Lindscy Mason calls Mt. LeConte "The grandstand of the Smokies." The return journey down the untrailed Roaring Fork Creek should be started not later than 8 o'clock. Since there is no trail to folow, directions for the hike down are simple—go to the spring and follow the stream— that is all. Here is a chance for one to observe the evolution, of a mere trickle of water into a rushing and roaring stream within a few miles. A short distance from the top the tiny stream makes a plunge over a big rock, this is the first of many beautiful falls and cascades that occur in this stream. As the stream increases in volume, the falls likewise increase in beauty and splendor. About half way down, a small stream comes in from the left. Before 1928 a heavy flood occurred on this stream and washed stones and debris into the main stream. This flood washed away large trees and the stones were left without their usual covering of moss, thus giving the stream bed the appearance of having been scraped. Since that time moss has gradually covered the rocks again and within a few years all traces of the flood will be covered. Rhododendron will be in bloom at this time, they will be beautiful beyond description on Roaring Fork Creek. Below this fork is a cliff of rock that has a raven's nest in one of the many niches. This is the only raven's nest known in the Park. Below the raven's nest are two large falls, the lower one is the most spectacular, as the water pours over the cliff into a big pool of blue water. The falls form a 34

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 1932 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.
