If you’re visiting the City of Twin Falls for the first time, Shoshone Falls, also known as the Niagara of the West, is a must-see. With a 212 foot drop and a width of 900 feet, it is one of the largest natural waterfalls in the United States. The flows over the falls are seasonal runoffs from the mighty Snake River, which carves its way through deep basalt canyons and is the largest tributary to the Columbia River.
Shoshone Falls is a waterfall on the Snake River in southern Idaho, United States, located approximately 3 miles northeast of the city of Twin Falls.
