Sandstone Falls, Hinton, West Virginia. April 23, 2010.

As I mentioned in my last post, Betsy and I visited some waterfalls in southern West Virginia last week. One of those waterfalls was Sandstone Falls near Hinton, West Virginia.
The picture above shows a part of Sandstone Falls. The waterfall is not particularly high — there are many that are higher — but it is by far the widest waterfall in West Virginia at over 1,500 feet.
The picture above was taken from the boardwalk at Sandstone Falls. Although the boardwalk offers many wonderful views of the falls, it is impossible to see the entire falls at once.

Later in the day we crossed the river and visited an overlook high on the opposite bank. This second pictures gives a pretty good indication of the masiveness and power of the water going over the falls.

The river really is wide there George. I was just telling Betsy how I thought that would be a great place to visit.

You certainly have a wonderful collection of water fall photos!
The dogwood flower on your other post is beautiful. I tried to leave a comment, but it wouldn’t take.

That looks like a wonderful place to fish…if fish weren’t biting you could just enjoy the beauty and be perfectly content.
