Shoshone Falls, Waterfall in Twin Falls, Idaho.
Shoshone Falls cascades down 212 feet with a width of 900 feet on the Snake River, making it taller than Niagara Falls.
The waterfall formed during the Lake Bonneville flooding 14,000 years ago, carving through resistant lava flows that shaped the Snake River Canyon.
Native American tribes, including Shoshone and Bannock peoples, gathered at the falls for fishing and trading before European documentation in the 1840s.
The park charges 5 dollars per vehicle from March through September, providing access to hiking trails, picnic areas, and observation points.
Water flow varies dramatically throughout seasons, reaching 20,000 cubic feet per second during peak spring melts and diminishing in summer due to irrigation.
