景点点评
Sandstone visitor center is a nice place to stop while traveling. Restrooms are very clean. I think the National Park Service oversees the Visitor Center so worth a stop.
Located just off of I-64, the Sandstone Visitor Center details the environmental and ecological aspects of the New River Gorge National River. The building is well maintained and the exhibits well done to explore the New River Gorge environment. The film shown is short but gives a good overview to those starting a tour of the region. The park ranger on duty the day of our visit was friendly as well. A good place to stop and learn about the terrain many people probably drive through without a second thought.
Thanks from Puerto Rico to Richard, the park ranger of the Sandstone Visitor Center. We arrived about 4:45 pm (the Visitor Center close at 5:00 pm), but he take his time to give us information, maps and allowed us to see the educational film . We appreciate all your help. Thanks for your recommendation to visit the Grand View of the New River Gorge and tell us the best route . Thanks a lot.
The Sandstone Visitor Center, located along I64, is a newer visitor center for the New River Gorge National River and serves as the primary visitor center for visitors arriving from the east. Although not as good as the Canyon Rim Visitor Center (located in Lansing), it is still worth a stop. This visitor center’s exhibits focus more upon the nature and hydrology of the area versus the focus on the human history of the Canyon Rim Visitor Center. Also offered is an introductory film, which is different than the one at Canyon Rim, a bookstore, clean restrooms and information on visiting the area. If you have the time (90 min or so), we would recommend you ask about visiting the worthwhile Sandstone Falls. While very close as the crow flies (~3.5 mi, 5.7 k), access is on the opposite side of the gorge and one needs to navigate a long loop (~20 mi, 32 k) to reach the falls. The drive is scenic, with a number of pull-outs, and gives one a feel for the barrier to transportation the river and gorge was prior to the building of modern highways and bridges.
