  • 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 hikes into the Great Smoky Mountains. Established in Knoxville, Tennessee, the first official club hike was led by Dutch Roth in December 1924. The 1930 photograph by Guy Frizzell was made of a group of hikers includes Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), founding member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association. The back of the photograph is stamped “McLean's Fadeless Prints Knoxville Tenn.". The hikers are identified on the reverse of the image.
