This might not be to everyone's taste, but I enjoyed it. I first became aware of Olmstead when I toured the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Along the entrance road, the higher up the roadside hills, the taller the trees. This makes the hills seem much taller, and gives the impression you're driving through a canyon. From the house, the vistas across the grounds to the French Broad River were like paintings. It was stunningly beautiful, and I've been interested in Olmstead ever since.
