Content Description +/-

The Wasatch Mountain Club was organized in 1920 to provide an education and activity group for those who enjoyed hiking, ski touring, river running and mountain climbing. Four photo albums contain prints from the early years of the organization and include photos of group members involved in both winter and summer activities in the Wasatch Mountains. Photographs include Brighton, Timpanogos area (including a photo of people using the first trail to the cave; #1161), Ensign Peak, Alta, Ogden Canyon, Mt. Olympus, Mt. Logan, and other locations along the range. There are few photos that do not include members of the club, most are group photos in scenic areas in the Wasatch.
