Skyway approaching Collins Gap, with Kuwohi (Clingmans Dome 1859-2024) in the background. The photographer notes, “the Skyway at this point had not been covered with crushed stone when this picture was made. The entire first unit of the Skyway now has a crushed stone surface.” 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.
