Shoshone Falls

Canyons, mountains, waterfalls - so many, so spectacular that you quickly run out of superlatives to describe them. Shoshone Falls are higher than Niagra Falls, just over a mile up-river from where Evel Knievel failed in his attempt to "jump" the Snake River canyon. The smoke that engulfed the area was so thick that although appearing as a cloudy day, it was actually clear and sunny, with the smoke providing the shield from the sun - and creating a kind of eerie quality to the atmosphere (and the pictures). If you are ever out this way, you need to see this area - as mentioned, there are many other waterfalls, etc. to see, but we had to move on to get to cleaner air.
