Drove into Twin Falls and stopped at the bridge entering town. Absolutely amazing!! the Snake River Canyon was beautiful. We took a long walk along the Canyon Rim on a very nice and well landscaped walkway. We watched base jumpers leap off the middle of the 486 foot high Perrine Bridge and parachute to a landing spot down by the Snake River. The geology and history (Bonneville Flood 17,500 years ago) of how this Canyon was formed was very interesting.
We then went to the Shoshone Falls which they call the “Niagara of the West”. They said the water level was low and in the Spring with Snow Melt-off it is roaring but still impressive.
Went back into town and had a late Lunch at the Canyon Crest Restaurant. We sat on the patio overlooking the Canyon and had Shrimp Cerviche and the Rainbow Trout Filet with Corn Fricassee (corn, green pepper, potatoes & tomatoes) with a nice Snake Canyon Riesling.
