Mount LeConte as seen from the ridge across river from Riverside hotel at Gatlinburg. The white building left of center is one of the Pi Beta Phi School buildings at Gatlinburg. Elevation of Mount LeConte 6,593 ft. Elevation at Gatlinburg: 1,292 ft. A difference of 5,301 ft. A mile and 21-foot rise in a 5-mile radius! This is the greatest in eastern America. 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.
