ツインフォールズ郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A boardwalk brings the trail here out above the edge of the rim to an elevated overlook of the impressive waterfalls, often dubbed "the Niagara of the West".

You can find a picnic area near the Shoshone Falls viewpoint.

Often referred to as the Niagara of the West, Shoshone Falls is a must-see attraction in Twin Falls, Idaho. At 212 feet tall and 900 foot wide, Shoshone Falls is one of the largest natural waterfalls in the United States surpassing the height of the famous Niagara Falls. Shoshone Falls is located on the Snake River as it carves its way through a deep basalt Canyon on its way to the Columbia River. Shoshone Falls is open year-round with the exceptions of temporary closures due to poor road conditions. The park hours are from dawn to dusk. Access by bike or on foot is free. Cars pay a $5.00 fee at Shoshone Falls Park and Dierkes Lake per vehicle. The fee is in effect from March 1st through September 30th.

Fit for all ages. Dog walkers should know there is a set of metal grate steps your pooch may have trouble with.

In the summer of 2024, they will unfortunately only have half as much water, but they are still impressive. Admission per vehicle $5.00 (2024)

A nice shady spot before the climb to the Rim Trail.

The trail system from here is dense and interconnected, so you may want to bring a map if trying to follow a specific path. There is no shade, so come early in the day to beat the heat! The trails themselves are gravel singletrack which wind between rocks and flora within the shelter of the tall canyon walls. The trailhead has plenty of parking spots and a vault toilet.

You can see a canal here that runs the length of the southwest section of Auger Falls Park paralleling Rock Creek.
