Pillar Falls, Natural waterfall in Twin Falls County, Idaho, US
The Snake River flows through multiple channels created by basalt pillars, dropping approximately 20 feet over a wide rock shelf at Pillar Falls.
The formation of Pillar Falls resulted from ancient volcanic activity that deposited basalt layers, which the Snake River gradually eroded over thousands of years.
Local residents and visitors gather at Pillar Falls throughout the year to observe the natural water features and practice outdoor photography.
Access to Pillar Falls requires a moderate hike from the trailhead at Pole Line Road and Eastland Drive, with steep sections demanding appropriate footwear.
The distinctive basalt pillars divide the Snake River into separate channels, creating multiple water streams that converge at different points along the falls.
