Sightseeing in Twin Falls Idaho

Here by the Snake River Canyon, the water drops quite a distance in a series of waterfalls. The namesake falls are several miles upstream, but it was reduced to a single fall when the Milner hydro dam was built just upstream. Between the city and Twin Falls is Shoshone Falls, a spectacular site where the falls are higher than those at Niagra Falls. And just to the west of Shoshone lies the place where Evel Knievel attempted to fly across the canyon on a rocket powered cycle in 1974. After investing over a million dollars, his attempt failed. And just a few miles west of the jump site is the Perrine Bridge, where Route 93 connects I-84 to the city of Twin Falls. You can park at the visitors center at the bridge and take a walk along the Canyon Rim Trail for some beautiful pictures.
