note into the strange and overwhelming symphony of the wilderness. A storm, which at home might cause us to postpone a trip to a movie, becomes a malevolent, merciless thing which bursts upon our unsheltered selves with a clattering roar and beats maddeningly upon our bodies until we are drenched and benumbed with cold. After two or three nights at pitching tents, possibly in the rain, the small unkempt lean-to near Mt. Guyot seems a heaven-sent refuge. The discordant noises of the city are forgotten. In their place is the gentle soughing of breezes thru peaked tree-tops, and the querulous chatter of the chicadces. Tho, on occasion the comparative stillnesses are shattered by the pistol-like explosion of a falling tree, whose tortured fibres have severed with a crack of doom. Or perhaps these silences are riven by lightning bolts which shiver the spaces about us to the accompaniment of fearlul reports and tremendous, roiling reverberations. Nature crowds us, presses close, cannot be evaded. Bu^ who wants to evade the feel of springing moss beneath his feet; the tangy fragrance of balsam needles; the chill ircshness of a mountain dawn; the elixir of sparkling water, cold, like fluid ice; the mounting vistas across many leagues of close-packed ranges. How different life becomes, how simple! Our sense of values is rearranged. When we do not have to select between trifles for our thrills, and existence is reduced to supplying elemental demands for food, warmth and shelter, and our day is an unending battle against odds to secure even these few things, we realise how precious are the simple gifts: of life and health, of the will to do and the spirit to endure. And so, our week will be spent in simple pursuits, in unsophisticated enjoyments. Of the hardships, the terrors and piquant delights imposed by nature, we have already spoken. In addition, we will experience the relief of falling limply into rest after an exhausting stretch of trail—we will know the joy of appeasing ravenous hunger, of quenching an agony of thrist— we will indulge in homely speculations as to weather

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.
