Shoshone Falls, Idaho

I visited Shoshone Falls (212 feet high) at Twin Falls, Idaho on the Snake River on June 28, 1997.

This falls is 52 feet higher than Niagara Falls and quite spectacular in the spring - like now. Later in the summer, irrigation diversions upstream reduce it to a trickle. It also had a large beautiful rainbow.

Very much worth seeing if you are here in the spring or early summer. Drought and irrigation affect flows .. I later learned that the peak flow rate was in 1997 -- 30,000 cubic feet per second flowed over the falls. So I really lucked out.
