Twin Falls is a city of more than 50,000 people in southern Idaho, set on the rim of the Snake River Canyon. Founded in 1904 after an irrigation project turned the dry sagebrush plain into productive farmland, it is now the hub of the Magic Valley and one of Idaho's fastest-growing cities.
The city's showpiece is Shoshone Falls, where the Snake River plunges about 212 feet over a horseshoe-shaped rim, higher than Niagara Falls. Just upstream, the Perrine Bridge spans the canyon about 486 feet above the river and is one of the few places where BASE jumping is legal year-round without a permit. A paved trail follows the canyon rim, and you can still see the dirt ramp where Evel Knievel tried to jump the canyon in 1974.
In town, the Herrett Center for Arts and Science has a planetarium and museum, and the historic City Park hosts summer band concerts. Thousand Springs, Balanced Rock and the City of Rocks are within day-trip distance.
A massive waterfall where the Snake River drops about 212 feet over a wide horseshoe-shaped rim, with viewing platforms, picnic areas and trails in the city park above. Flow is strongest in April and May and can drop to a trickle in late summer. A vehicle entry fee is charged in the main season.
Tall basalt pillars rising out of the Snake River below the Perrine Bridge, with water rushing between them. You can reach them by kayak or paddleboard from Centennial Waterfront Park or on a rough trail from the rim. Rentals are available in summer; ask locally about water levels and conditions.
A steel arch bridge carrying US 93 about 486 feet above the Snake River, with a pedestrian walkway that gives dramatic canyon views. BASE jumpers leap from it year-round, and you can often watch them parachute down to the river. Park at the visitor center on the south end of the bridge.
A visitor center on the canyon rim at the south end of the Perrine Bridge, with tourist information, local maps and an overlook deck with sweeping views of the Snake River Canyon and the bridge. It is the best starting point for the rim trail. Staff can share the current waterfall flow at Shoshone Falls.
A paved trail that runs for several miles along the south rim of the Snake River Canyon, with benches, viewpoints and interpretive signs between the Perrine Bridge and the eastern end of town. It is flat and good for walking or cycling. Go at sunset, when the canyon walls glow orange.
The dirt ramp on the north rim of the canyon where daredevil Evel Knievel launched his Skycycle in a failed attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon in 1974. The mound is on private land but can be seen from viewpoints and the rim trail. A stunt performer completed the jump in 2016.
A small lake in the canyon next to Shoshone Falls, with a swimming beach, fishing, picnic areas and trails that climb over basalt rocks to hidden pools and a small waterfall. It is a favorite summer spot with locals. The same entry fee as Shoshone Falls usually covers both areas in season.
The original park at the center of Twin Falls, surrounded by historic buildings including the county courthouse, with old shade trees, a bandshell and a veterans memorial. The Twin Falls Municipal Band plays free concerts here on summer evenings. Combine it with a stroll along nearby Main Avenue.
A county park at the bottom of the Snake River Canyon below the Perrine Bridge, reached by a steep winding road, with a boat dock, picnic areas and views up to the bridge and BASE jumpers landing. It is the launch point for kayak trips to Pillar Falls. The road is narrow, so drive slowly.
A museum at the College of Southern Idaho with exhibits on ancient cultures of the Americas, natural history and art galleries, plus the Faulkner Planetarium, which shows star programs and films on a large dome. There is also an observatory. Check show times and plan about two hours.
