Waterfalls in United States
Shoshone Falls, Idaho
Known for its grandeur, rugged beauty and salmon riddled water, Shoshone Falls is nicknamed as Niagara of the West- although it beats its eastern rival in height and landscape wilderness.
The prosperous shores of the Shoshone Gorge were once the fishing and fur trading grounds of the Indians tribes. The historic significance of the falls stretches further through the history, documented as the meeting point with the early European colonists in the wild west, and later the industrial boom after the Snake River’s gold rush.
Today, recreationalists are the main visitors of these rugged landscapes. Hand curated trails, canoeing routes and fishing, picnic areas, observation decks granting once-in-a-lifetime vistas, and the falls and their fierce beauty- all located only 5 kilometers at the comfort of the charming township of Twin Falls.
