Waterfalls

Shoshone Falls is one of the most spectacular of natural wonders along the Snake River. Rising 212 feet, the waterfalls are higher than Niagara Falls. Shoshone Falls is best viewed during the spring, when water flows are high, as irrigation of the Snake River significantly diminishes water over the falls in the summer and fall during dry years. Facilities around the falls include playgrounds, hiking trails, landscaped picnic areas, boat ramp, swimming area, and a scenic overlook.

Thousand Springs offers spectacular water displays as springs thought to be the re-emergence of the Big Lost River explode from rocky canyon walls and rush to the Snake River below. Other springs bubble up from deep within the river bed to create an inviting crystal blue pool of water.

And More Waterfalls at Bridal Veil Falls, Pillar Falls, Twin Falls and the Perrine Coulee Falls!
