Twin Falls Attractions
The main sight in the little town of Twin Falls (pop. 37,000) is the Shoshone Falls, over which the Snake River plunges down 200 ft - 50 ft more than the Niagara Falls. The falls are best seen in spring and autumn, for during the summer most of the water is diverted for irrigating farmland.
