Niagara of the West

On the way home from Robin's wedding we stopped in Twin Falls (to see the new temple) and at Shoshone Falls. We didn't know that it is known as the Niagara of the West until we got home, and we had never really heard of it before, but we thought it would be a nice stopping point. When we were there I never would've guessed why it was compared to Niagara Falls until I found pictures online of what it normally looks like. The river must have been really low or something, cause it didn't look at all like that. Beautiful nonetheless, but nothing like the pictures. See for yourself.


This is what I found online, and what I would expect from the Niagara of the West

This is what we saw, if I had any previous expectations I would've been VERY disappointed.
We didn't though, so we thought it was neat anyway!
We still enjoyed it though

Funny story (or maybe not, depending who is telling it)...as we headed back out of Twin Falls toward home, we debated a little bit where to get on the freeway, but we got on where we thought we got off and didn't think twice about it. Well, come to find out about and hour or so later, when we hit Pocatello, we both looked at each other and went "this isn't the way we drove up." We called my dad and laughed a little bit about it, realizing we got on I-15 instead of I-84. This took us in a round about way to Logan, but we found our way home eventually. It just took us an hour longer than planned, which for four tired bums is a lot. Oops!
