The Widest Human-Made Waterfall in the US — Idaho Falls 🌊🇺🇸

Today we arrived in the town of Idaho Falls and checked into a motel. Our room is surprisingly spacious — with two large beds — and super affordable at just $50 per night! 🛏️💵 After dropping off our bags, we took a stroll to the town’s famous attraction: the largest human-made waterfall in the United States — Idaho Falls Waterfall! This impressive waterfall is actually a dam built on the Snake River (also known as ). The Snake River originates in Yellowstone National Park 🏞️, flows through Idaho Falls, and eventually joins the Columbia River. Behind the waterfall stands a stunning white temple ⛪ — the Idaho Falls Idaho Temple. Located on the banks of the Snake River, it is the tenth temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the eighth still in active use. It was the first LDS temple built in Idaho and features a unique modern single-spire design. We watched local families enjoying time near the waterfall — one dad especially caught our attention, happily managing several kids all by himself. So much respect! 👨‍👧‍👦💙 What a peaceful and picturesque little town — definitely worth a stop if you’re near Yellowstone or passing through eastern Idaho! #IdahoFalls #WaterfallLover #SnakeRiver #TravelIdaho #LDSTemple #FamilyTravel #USRoadTrip #BudgetTravel #HiddenGems
