Twin Falls, Idaho

We've used Twin Falls, Idaho as our base for exploring the area for the past two days, but now it's time to move on. There are some parts of Twin Falls that I've really enjoyed, including all the nice outdoors attractions and waterfalls. Amongst them:

Shoshone Falls

Perrine Coulee Falls

The Snake River and the deep canyon it cuts through the earth on the north side of the city are also very interesting. There's a paved trail that follows the rim and some other trails that wind their way within the canyon.

 From many areas of the rim, the Perrine Bridge dominates the view.

The bridge itself is an engineering marvel. However, the most interesting thing about the bridge is that it is one of the few bridges in the United States that people are allowed to legally BASE jump from on a regular basis. We watched several people take the plunge off the bridge and it was very interesting to watch.

We didn't spend a lot of time downtown, but we found downtown Twin Falls to be clean and safe. We ate at two different restaurants downtown: Koto Brewing and Jasmine Thai and they were both great. 

Besides Twin Falls itself, the city is located in a nice location for getting out of town and exploring with close proximity to lots of attractions in southern Idaho, as well as northern Utah and northeast Nevada.
