🌅 Sandstone Falls Overlook (off Hwy. 20), easy pull-off, front-row seats to sunset.

🥾 Sandstone Falls Boardwalk, a little farther out, but I’d make the drive every single time. Get there about an hour before sunset and watch the whole place turn gold. It’s one of those spots that quietly reminds you why you got in the car in the first place.
