June 13, 2014: Shoshone Falls, Idaho"},"content":{"rendered":"

Known as the \u201cNiagara Falls of the west\u201d,  Shoshone Falls is a lovely cascade situated in the desert just east of Twin Falls, Idaho.   The falls are 212 feet (65m) tall and about 900 feet (275 m) wide.  At this point the Snake River drops in a series of steps and the result, as you can see, is beautiful!  A bonus is the brilliant rainbow you\u2019ll be guaranteed to see in the mist on a sunny day.<\/p>\n

Stroll along the edge of the Snake River Gorge and you\u2019ll find a natural arch.  If you look downriver you\u2019ll see where legendary stunt-devil, Evil Knievel, attemped his jump across the Canyon.  The Snake River Canyon and Shoshone Falls are natural treasures that are not visited nearly often enough.<\/p>\n
