MOUNT COLLINS

"The most rugged and difficult part of the Smokies (and of the United States east of Colorado) is in the sawtooth mountains between Collins and Guyot, at the headwaters of the Okona Lufty River. I know but few men who have ever followed this part of the divide, although during the present year [1911] trails have been cut from Clingman to Collins, or near it, and possibly others beyond to the northeastward." (1913. Kephart, Horace. Our Southern Highlanders, p. 58.)
