'24/#16 Water Falls and Insanity

 Well Twin Falls turned into an interesting stop. First of all there are the falls. The Snake River Canyon's geological history has created some interesting natural sights like both the Shoshone Falls and the Perrine Coolie Falls. The Perrine Coolie Falls has a verticle drop of almost 200 feet. It is not the tallest waterfall but impressive none the less.


The Shoshone Falls are not as tall but are much more interesting. Again a geological creation from centuries ago. Also lots of pictures of what is refered to as the Niagara Falls of the west. We have seen Niagara Falls and can see the reference.


Between the two falls is the location of Evel Kenievel's failed attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in 1974. Not much to see but a big mound built for the jump. A few more pics and a moment to contemplate the mind that would consider trying what seems insane to most of us.


Well we will be off for Oregon in the morning so goodbye from our home in Twin Falls Idaho because....

Home is where we park itt,

Frank and Mary

  1. You can probably write a book on all the falls you’ve seen.
