Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome 1859-2024) is the highest mountain in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, topping out at 6,643 ft. It is also the highest point on the Appalachian Trail. In this photograph, the dome is seen from near Jake’s Gap on the Blanket Mountain Trail. This photograph, with others in this series, are included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924. The back of the photograph is stamped “Jim Thompson Co. Knoxville Master Photo Finishers,” indicating it was probably printed by hiking club member James E. (Jim) Thompson (1880-1976).
