Tour through the downtown historic districts of Twin Falls on this half-day tour. See Shoshone Falls, Snake River Canyon, Twin Falls Waterfall & Dam and the Perrine Memorial Bridge.
Come along on this historic and scenic adventure tour to Shoshone Falls and see why it is called the "Niagara of the West". Learn how this natural wonder was formed over 15,000 years when Lake Bonneville overflowed its rim some 300 miles away ripping away Idaho's terrain and creating this stunning natural wonder ranked as one of the top three waterfalls in the United States.
Your first stop will be in the original townsite founded in 1904. This area has been restored to much of its original state to include shops, restaurants, theaters and more offering exciting architecture including Neoclassical, Spanish Mission, Modern and Gothic just to name a few. Surrounding our City Park are our beautiful old churches.
Then drive through our historic Warehouse District where our mills, warehouses and railroad provided food throughout the world. This area is full of beautiful, iconic buildings.
Enjoy a stop at Twin Falls Dam and Waterfall where you will get views of the Snake River Canyon not seen by most visitors. Natural springs burst through basalt lava rock to expose "hidden streams and hanging gardens" as we take you to the edge of the "Snake" behind the dam.
As we make our way to Shoshone Falls, you will stop behind Shoshone Falls above its hydroelectric powerplant where you will find yourself surrounded in ancient volcanic geologic history. Learn about the hydroelectric power produced by the Shoshone Falls Power Plant built in 1909 located below its low wall diversion dam.
Our final adventure stop is at our Visitor Center where you can shop for souvenirs and walk along the top of the I.B. Perrine Memorial Bridge spans 1500 feet across the Snake River Canyon at a breathtaking height of 486 feet. It is here you will take in the grandeur of our famous canyon and river below.
