The roads at Olana are a key element within Olana’s artist-designed landscape. Laid out by Frederic Church, they serve to guide visitors through a series of composed and carefully crafted scenes. The roads were envisioned by Church for both pleasure and for utility, and they provided visitors with a “cinematic” display of moving pictures. They enabled visitors to visit the farm, circle the lake, and fully experience Olana’s iconic views.
While checking out the cache, also check out the picture of Frederic Church’s “View from Olana in the Snow” done around 1871 inside. However, please leave it in the cache and do not take it with you.
