Shoshone Falls, Twin Falls, Idaho

So on our way home from our trip to Salt Lake,

I talked Nathan into stopping by the Shoshone Falls

and Dierkes Lake.  

Here is the sign as you enter Dierkes Lake : )

I took a picture of Nathan as we were standing overlooking

the lake....

Here is where they have sectioned off for 

a swimming area.  To the right (outside of the picture)

is a nice beach and an area where you can have

a picnic...

Then you drive down a little ways to the Shoshone Falls

We parked the car and decided to walk down to 

the lookouts.  Below is a picture as we were

walking down to where you can look straight

across at the Falls....

Isn't this just beautiful???

I love waterfalls!

I thought this was really neat how there

was a rainbow in the water...

This is the other side of the river (the falls are on the

left, outside of the picture)

Look at the mountains behind the falls, and how the river

just flows over all of those rocks.

They say that Shoshone Falls is known as

the Little Niagara Falls of the West, 

although it is 50 feet higher than the Niagara

Falls in New York.  I thought that was an

interesting fact.

And one last picture of the area as we are getting

in the car to continue our drive home.
