  • turn left toward Gatlinburg walking along this "highway" until we turn abruptly left and make our way through the Low Gap to the Roaring Fork road and thence back to our cars parked at the Mountain View Hotel. There are at least four different round trips possible, making the total round trip from the hotel back to the hotel anywhere from 6 to 12 miles. It is a trip one should take leisurely enjoying the growing things along the route, as well as the succession of views. It is a trip that new and old members should enjoy. Leave Saunders System at 8:30 A. M. and drive to the Mountain View Hotel at Gatlinburg. Take lunch and canteen. Cost of transportation about $2.00 each. The trip to Red Top is a favorite horseback trip to a knowing few. Late comers could make the trip described by horseback starting from the Mountain View Hotel immediately after noon day dinner. Although horseback trips are not recommended for HIKERS, the novelty of it might appeal to some and it would be possible to see in a half a day on horseback, what it takes hikers a whole day to traverse. Leaders: Laura Thorn- burgh (Gatlinburg) and Billie Caldwell (Phone 2—4735). November 16 ENGLISH MOUNTAIN Come on, folks, let's make the English Mountain hike! This trip is suited to all types of trampers— old and young—large and small. This mountain is located mid-way between Sevierville and New- Port, and belongs to that chain of small mountains which parallels the Great Smoky Mountains at a distance of about 15 miles to northwest. The round trip distance is short, covering only eight miles—a good path leads from the base of the mountain to its summit, and takes you to an elevation of about 3,000 to 3,500 feet above sea level, or about half that of Mt. LeConte. However, you are 1500 feet above the great valley of East 63
