Perrine Coulee Falls — Attraction in Twin Falls

I can imagine walking behind/ under the Falls is a fun experience. But that would have been a tremendous safety hazard today (14 Nov).

Although it hasn't been snowing for a while, some parts were completely frozen. You can have a look from the corner of the street that will lead you downhill (there are parking spots right there, but you can hardly tell). There's a short cut down to the fall, but it has changed into a dangerous icy slide. You will fall/slide down if you even attempt to go down. But... it was so magical!! What a view.

Just west of downtown Twin Falls the Snake River Canyon Rim Trail takes in another striking waterfall. Here, the Perrine Coulee, which weaves northwards through the city, plummets over the south wall of the Snake River Canyon from a height of almost 200 ft.

You can see the falls from above on the Canyon Rim Trail, but there’s also a path at the bottom, in front of Centennial Waterfront, leading you behind the waterfall itself.

There’s a good chance you’ll get wet on this route, especially when the waterfall is at its strongest in summer, but this...
