Loki claimed the overlook wall at Sandstone Falls like he’d personally filed the deed. One blue eye on the view, one on anyone who looked like they might have snacks.

If you’re heading to New River Gorge, here’s the move:

🌅 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.

Save this for your next road trip playlist, send it to the friend who has very strong opinions about Yosemite, and prepare to argue with me in the comments.

Because apparently assigning 90s songs to National Parks is serious business.
