About This Trail
Sandstone Bluffs is more of a scenic viewpoint than a trail. It is worth the effort to find and explore. There is a parking lot nearby and some wooden steps to help people get to the ledges. Visitors can see the beautiful views of the valley below and sit on the rocks carved by millions of years of erosion. The drive to the bluffs provides a beautiful view of the park.
