Description

Tennessee side of Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome 1859-2024), the highest point in the Great Smokies at 6642 feet as seen from Skyway 4 miles west of Newfound Gap. Collins Gap is in the center, with the Skyway skirting the flank of the mountains to the left. 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.
