Twin Falls in Twin Falls, Idaho

Although the city of Twin Falls (Idaho) is arguably best known for the Shoshone Falls, Pillar Falls, and even Perrine Coulee Falls, it is actually named after Twin Falls.

The Twin Falls were formerly two waterfalls next to each other (see how they looked), but is now a single waterfall because the southern waterfall is blocked by a dam.

The Once-Twin-Now-Single Falls can be viewed from an observation area within Idaho Power's Twin Falls Park (Idaho Power also manages the more well-known Shoshone Falls Park).

We were the only ones in the observation area when we visited in the late afternoon on a weekday in late May.

The canyon and Snake River below Twin Falls also provide a beautiful view.

Southern Idaho and the Twin Falls area are blessed with many so many picturesque waterfalls!
