5/7/2017 Shoshone Falls, Twin Falls, Idaho

Dean and I decided to take a mini vacation and go check out the Shoshone Falls.

 First, we had to check on our good friend Bob Quigley in Rupert,Idaho, Had to make sure he was behaving!

We sure miss that guy.

 We got to watch base jumpers jumping off the 486 foot Perrine bridge.

 Our hotel had a great view of the Twin Falls Temple.

 Shoshone Falls. 

Absolutely amazing!

It is 212 ft, 45 ft taller than Niagara.

  I read that the flow of water in May got up to 20,000 cfs.  5 times larger than its normal flow.

The picture above is how we saw the falls, the picture below is how it usually looks this time of year.

 If you take about 3 miles hike, you get to the place Evel attempted to jump the Snake River.

 This is the ramp for the jump.

This is looking at the span he was supposed to jump.

Next we went to see Twin Falls.

 Twin falls was very anti-climatic compared to Shoshone.
