Shoshone Falls and The Caynon Rim Trail - Idaho

The Shoshone Falls and Canyon Rim Trail are worth a visit.  The Falls plunges 212 feet into the lower Snake River, making it the one of the tallest waterfalls in the USA.  It has 1,000 foot span and is made up of a series of falls.   This includes the Bridal Veil and the Bride's Made on the upper left.  Two Graces in the center: and Sentinal at the Southern most and largest Fall.

There is surrounding parkland is available for people to enjoy.

From here we visited Diekes Lake which was close by.  John Diekes came to the uSA from Germany and moved to Idho in 1906 to begin work at the Idaho Power.  He came across the a blind canyon east of the Falls.  He went onto homestead 160 acres on the site only to see his orchards flooded by water from the recently developed local canal irrigation system.  In 1969 the City of Twin Falls purchashed the property.   Today it many outdoor activities for people from fishing, swimming, picnic areas, natural trails etc.

It truly is a beautiful spot to relax.
