Twin Falls

Bailing out of West Yellowstone under low cold clouds, we drive through Idaho Falls and on to Twin Falls. I found out that there were two beautiful falls in the area so we drove out to see them. Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls are almost dry from lack of rain. At one time they were both magnificent but they have been dammed up and tamed.

Snake River below Twin Falls

This is the Snake River with very steep and narrow canyon walls. Evel Knievel jumped the Snake River Canyon between the two falls in 1969.
