Nature and panorama
Shoshone Falls
Shoshone Falls Projects the Snake River over a large basaltic wall in a dry rock amphitheater north of Twin Falls The flow varies according to the season and irrigation; in spring, the water's power turns the gazebo into a hazy, hazy performance.
Nature and panorama
Perrine Bridge
The Perrine Bridge Crossing the Snake River Canyon with one metal gesture, just north of Twin Falls. From the viewpoints, the look dives towards the river and the walls; the site is also known for the jumps of BASE jump, which sometimes add a spectacular tension to the panorama.
Nature and panorama
Snake River Canyon
In Twin Falls, Snake River Canyon brutally cut the agricultural plateau of Idaho, with basalt walls, green meanderings and accessible viewpoints. Roads, trails and viewpoints allow to measure the contrast between surface irrigated fields and river below.
Nature and landscape
Thousand Springs State Park
Thousand Springs State Park The park is named after the water fillets that spring from the cliffs to fall towards the Snake River. The park gathers several units, between waterfalls, clear springs, canyons and traces of the Oregon Trail; each stop reveals a different way in which the water crosses this basaltic country.
