“Indian Head” or overhanging rock face on Scenic Loop Highway between Townsend and Elkmont (looking downstream) in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The photographer notes, “There are many spectacular overhanging cliffs along the Scenic Loop Highway through beautiful Little River Gorge.” Little River is just out of sight at the right of the road. 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.
