The Niagara Falls of the West

Shoshone Falls is gorgeous. A giant flood ripped down the Snake River about 15,000 years ago carving a gorge through the basalt rock. The Falls were said to have attracted settlers from miles around due to the roar of the water. Today it was pretty hot, though, and no shade of any magnitude made it tough to stick around too long. It’s a shame, really. Would have been a nice place for a picnic lunch.

This is so beautiful. Sorry to hear the weather was too hot to stay for long.
