Perrine Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Twin Falls, US.

The Perrine Bridge spans 993 feet across Snake River Canyon, rising 486 feet above the water with four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways.

Built in 1976 for 10.56 million dollars, this steel structure replaced the original 1927 Twin Falls-Jerome cantilever bridge that served the region.

The bridge honors I.B. Perrine, a regional developer who established irrigation projects in southern Idaho during the early twentieth century.

The Twin Falls Visitor Center at the southwest end provides local information, access to canyon rim trails, and viewing areas.

This structure stands as the only bridge in the United States that permits BASE jumping throughout the year without requiring special permits.

Hidden gems in Idaho : remote lakes, volcanic landscapes, historic mining towns

Idaho's remote locations offer access to diverse landscapes ranging from alpine lakes nestled in mountain ranges to volcanic formations and high desert terrain. The state contains geological features formed over thousands of years, including lava tubes that preserve ice year-round, sand dunes rising hundreds of feet, and one of North America's deepest river canyons. Historic mining towns preserve architecture from the silver boom era, while natural hot springs dot the landscape alongside waterfalls that cascade through forested valleys. These destinations span from the granite spires of City of Rocks National Reserve, where climbers tackle routes on 600-foot rock formations, to Priest Lake in the northern forests, stretching 19 miles through conifer-covered wilderness. Visitors can explore the black lava fields of Craters of the Moon, spanning over 1,100 square miles, or descend into caves where ice formations persist despite surface temperatures. The Snake River carves through Hell's Canyon at depths reaching 7,900 feet, creating opportunities for rafting and fishing. Whether hiking to Sawtooth Lake at 8,800 feet elevation, observing stars from an observatory at Bruneau Dunes State Park, or walking through the Victorian streets of Wallace, these locations provide experiences across Idaho's varied terrain.
