Shoshone Falls near Twin Falls Idaho Aug 6, 2007

Shoshone Falls is among the most spectacular of natural beauties along the Snake River. At 212 feet, the falls are higher than Niagara Falls. They are best viewed during the spring, when water flows are high. Irrigation diversion of Snake River flows can significantly diminish water over the falls in the summer and fall during dry years. The City of Twin Falls owns and operates the Shoshone Falls/Dierkes Lake Complex. It offers a unique blend of recreational facilities, including playgrounds and hiking trails, landscaped picnic areas, a boat ramp and swimming area, and a scenic overlook. The complex provides restroom facilities and visitor information, and for a nominal per-car entry fee, visitors can enjoy picnicking and relaxing in the shaded, grassy areas, which provide perfect vantage points for viewing Shoshone Falls. http://www.visitidaho.org/thingstodo/waterfall/shoshone-falls.aspx
