  • hike has been set for late spring or summer, and special emphasis was laid then on the variety and profusion of flowers one might see along the trail. This year we are all urged to come and marvel at the beautiful showing of color in the trees along the trail, if the fall is mild like that of 1931. If not, come anyway, and enjoy good fellowship and good fresh air. Those of us who have made the trip before will remember that the first part of our trip, after parking the cars at Greenbrier Hotel, is thru open fields around the base of the Pinnacle, and then follows a rather steep trail up the Catstair Cliffs. And those of us who have never made the trip have a real treat in store, for the view from the top is said to be one of the finest to be had in the Smokies and of the Smokies. It is truly breath-taking. We look out over the Greenbrier Cove to Mt. LeConte and Brushy. Going on a few steps, we are treated to a nice view of Guyot and Chapman. In whatever direction we turn, there is a beautiful panorama. Leave Dixie System at 7:30 A. M. Take canteen and food for one meal. Round trip hiking distance about 6 miles. Elevation about 3 500 feet. era: MARGARET BROOME (3-7610) COLQUIT CL;u<.K (2<21Ui) // November 27th CHIMNEY TOPS Who has not known a mountain, He has not known a friend To live with him, and go with him Unto the journey's end." Here is your chance to have a mountain all your own; here's a little friendly mountain, a mountain with more individuality, than any mountain its size. Here is a trip you can make most of the way in your car, and yet hike right into the rugged fastnesses of Smokies' wonderland, and feast your eyes on some of the Creat Smokies' most gorgeous views. 57
