If you’re at all familiar with Church’s work you’ll understand why he built Olana where it is. The views are truly spectacular. Above: looking South down the Hudson River.

View over the Rip Van Winkle Bridge. There is now a walkway across this bridge, which allows you to walk from Olana to the home of another member of the Hudson River School of Painters: Thomas Cole. It’s called The Hudson River Skywalk and it’s a six mile out-and-back pedestrian walkway.
