Shooting Sandstone Falls

West Virginia is a state know for it's natural beauty and the Sandstone Falls on the New River is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of West Virginia. Fifteen hundred feet wide (yes, fifteen hundred) and falling some twenty feet, it is an impressive sight. Okay... I think the river is probably fifteen hundred feet wide but you're seeing the more impressive half; the other half is much more gradual in its descent.

Preparing this entry, I've learned that there's actually a boardwalk down along the near bank that allows some pretty nice viewing of this wonder up close. Unfortunately, we didn't know about that when we were there... and it was pouring rain so I doubt we'd have ventured too far. Located only a few miles from the interstate exit, I can easily recommend this stop.
