These papers consist of the photographic journal (diary) compiled by C. Howard Nash as record of his hiking and mountaineering adventures in various mountain ranges in New York and New England States from September 1936 to October 1940. In particular, the photographs feature the Adirondacks (N.Y.), Catskills (N.Y.), Taconics (N.Y., Vt., & Mass.), Berkshires (Mass.), Green Mountains (Vt.), and White Mountains (N.H.). These photographs depict hiking and mountaineering activities as well as the scenery. The written text compliments the photographs with detailed descriptions of each hike from start to finish. It includes information on trail conditions, flora, fauna, and weather conditions along with the names of his hiking companions. This collection also includes news clippings, printed brochures, and other mementos of special activities of the Taconic Hiking Club and the Troy Forty-sixers.
