Snake River Canyon

Similar to the White River in Missouri and Arkansas, the Snake River crosses the entire state of Idaho and in to Montana. Offering so many scenic canyons and countless quality fishing opportunities, an entire vacation and more could be spent exploring this river. Our first encounter was while heading to the Boise area and knowing that we were going to do a side trip around Twin Falls area to see Shoshone Falls, as recommended by our relatives in Ogden - and are we glad we did! The pictures will look a little hazy due to the smoke from dozens of lightning-sparked fires all across southern Idaho. We didn't fully explore this area as some samll towns on our route were being evacuated and the smoke was pretty intense (everything in our truck smelled like campfire). Not so many wildflowers around here, but there are always trains, so to satisfy Charlcie's fascination with them, we will always include a picture.
