I cant tell you how many times I have driven by the cathedral in Newark and asked myself how cool it would be to shoot it. Lynn, Sam and I did a day trip for only about 30 minutes and I was able to get a few good shots. This site is directly adjacent to a park and there are plenty of great photography opportunities. Here is a sample.

I finally had an opportunity to go to Garrett Mountain Reservation on a day that was perfect photography. My original plan was to find Lambert castle and spend the time shooting the building and the surrounding grounds. It is a different set of driving direction if you want to find the Castle, it is not part of the reservation or there are no roads from the reservation leading to the Castle property that I could find. I decided to drive around the reservation “to see what we could see.” At the very top of Garrett Mountain there is an architectural landmark that I never knew about. Rook Tower. The observation tower is part of the Lambert Family estate and offers excellent views from the base of the tower. While it is obvious that a restoration project has been completed I am not sure if access to the observation deck is being offered to the public yet.

In the 1940's, when Peggy and Bill Stark first laid eyes on the rugged Upper Basin of the Stuart Range southwest of Leavenworth, the husband-and-wife hiker team were, in a word, enchanted. Innumerable lakes and tarns, jagged peaks and waterfalls, the golden splendor of western larch trees blazing in the fall—to capture the scale and grandeur of the landscape, the Starks drew from Arthurian legend and Norse myth, christening the peaks, passes, and lakes with names such as Valhalla, Asgaard, Troll, and Temple. Can any place really live up to the name "Enchantments?" Incredibly, the Enchantment Mountains, comprised of a lower and upper basin nestled between the highest peaks of the Stuart Range, do. In the summer, passes to the basins are awarded in a lottery conducted by the Forest Service, but if you want to visit in October, when the larches are blazing, you can head up any time you like.
