Kuwohi (N.C. and Tenn.)

Hikers with Smoky Mountains Hiking Club on a planned hike to Gregory Bald are enjoying the view from Rich Gap which lies on the state line just east of Gregory Bald. Thunderhead Mountain is to the left and Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome 1859-2024) at the right. The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
