Sunday Bridges - Twin Falls, ID


This is a bridge in Twin Falls, ID. It spans the beautiful Snake River Canyon.


"Twin Falls became the center of national attention in September 1974 thanks to an attempt by Evel Knievel to jump the Snake River Canyon in a specially-modified rocket cycle. Watched by millions on television, the attempt ultimately failed due to high winds and a premature deployment of Knievel's parachute. The foundation of the launch ramp, which lies on private land, can still be seen." Wikipedia

Watery Wednesday





My contribution to Watery Wednesday was taken at Twin Falls, Idaho. We stumbled across this beauty of a gem as we were driving west on our trip from Arizona to Washington. We had no idea the falls were there, but saw a sign and followed it. This is what we found.



Here's one from a different angle to show the height of the falls. See that tiny white building down there? That is a damn.



This is looking left past the falls down the river. It was a gorgeous day, as you can see!



If you want to see more, here's a video that I took:
