Sandstone Falls Overlook. — Attraction in Hinton

Nice place to see Sandstone Falls from on high This location is about 3-4 miles from the Sandstone visitor’s center off the right hand side of the road. This is an overlook from several hundred feet up and away from the actual falls. It is a good overview of the falls but not really close to them. There is a small gravel pullout with limited parking for about 3 cars. You could get out and take pictures or look from there but for those that want to get a little closer, there is a gravel walking path down about 50 feet below that leads to a large flat open area that gives a better vantage point for pictures. The view is from within a shaded forest and does not offer a great view of the falls. If you want a closer, better view of this site I would strongly recommend that you drive down to the falls viewing site on the other side of the river. It is a fair distance but worth the travel. There is also a set of restrooms right off the road next to this sight. Overall a good place to see the Sandstone falls...

First of all, the road for access has lots of intense construction at the time of my writing this review - my volvo station wagon certainly was pushed to its limits on those muddy stretches. It's also very narrow at some points so be careful driving a larger car. Definitely let the experienced driver take the wheel. Otherwise my experience at these falls was fantastic. The walk to reach the falls is incredibly short and accessible, and if you're feeling adventurous, you can get incredibly close to the falls, to the point where you can feel the water mist on your face. The views are stunning and the falls are great. Also, there are two sets of falls, a small one and a large one - be sure...

Do not come here if you want to see the falls. Only an "overlook" if thats what you want to call it. Trees block the view of almost all the water. You can hear the water. Yay! The thing I was looking for! Not. And also there is a dirt path on the right, THAT IS NOT SAFE. the path is way too steep to go back up. I was stuck for like 30 minutes trying to get back up. I didn't even go all the way down because I knew it was just getting steeper! DO NOT BRING KIDS OR THE PHYSICALLY UNABLE DOWN THE PATH! Super easy to slip and fall down the mountain! If you're not a child or unable be ready to get bruises,...
