Scenic overlooks

Margaret Kent and Henry McMillan are with other hikers atop Chestnut Bald. Left to right are Blockhouse Mountain, peaks of Thunderhead (above Kent) and Brier Knob (just back of McMillan). Except for Blockhouse, the mountains are on the Appalachian Trail and the Tennessee-North Carolina state line. 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.
