Twin Falls, Idaho:
Gateway to the Snake River Canyon

The Magic Valley

Incorporated in 1905, Twin Falls, Idaho is the largest city in Twin Falls County, located on the south rim of the Snake River Canyon. It is north of the border from Jackpot, Nevada, which is located about 50 miles south of the state line and is considered to be a part of the greater Metro area. The area northeast of Twin Falls was made famous in 1974 by Evel Knievel, who took to a steam-powered rocket in a daring attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon. The jump site is about midway between Shoshone Falls and the Perrine Bridge.

Interests in the Twin Falls Area

• If you’re a BASE jumper, you’ll be happy to know The Perrine Bridge over the Snake River Canyon just north of Twin Falls, is one of only a handful of artificial structures worldwide where BASE jumping is legal.
• You’ll definitely want to visit the beautiful 212-ft. Shoshone Falls, or “the Niagara of the West.” Shoshone Falls has its own beauty, off-season in the late summer and autumn months when the water flows are low, but when the water is at full-capacity in the spring and early summer (winter weather conditions permitting), the falls are just spectacular, and worth a drive to see.
• The Shoshone Ice Caves, and Balanced Rock are a short and interesting drive away.
