Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Shoshone Falls adventure.
Discover the majestic Shoshone Falls, a gem of natural splendor.
212 vertical feet of falling water roar to the depths below at the "Niagara of the West" Shoshone Falls. A natural beauty found along the Snake River in the city of Twin Falls, Shoshone Falls spans an impressive 900 ft across the water. The sheer scale of this falls system is best observed from the overlook but can also be enjoyed from the nearby hiking trails. With world-class camping just next door, Shoshone Falls has been a necessary pitstop for visitors to the region ever since it was made popular by travelers following the Oregon Trail.
The prime time to visit Shoshone Falls is between March and September, when the park's full glory is on display and the admission fee is in effect. The falls are most voluminous in the spring, thanks to melting snow, making it a spectacular season for photographers and nature enthusiasts. Summer brings warm weather perfect for picnics and hikes, but be mindful of the heat. Off-peak seasons offer a quieter experience, though with less water flow.
