A misty morning at Shoshone Falls


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a post on May 18, 2026 I discussed Attending the 2026 District 15 Conference of Toastmasters International in the Salt Lake City suburb of South Jordan.

 

During my drive back to Boise on May 17th I stopped at the impressive Shoshone Falls on the Snake River, which has a height of 212 feet – 45 feet higher than Niagara Falls. There is a nominal fee of $5 for admission to the city park.  Recent TV news reports had noted that the falls was at peak flow.

 

I stopped around noon, and took the misty image shown above from over the fence by the parking lot. At the lower left you can see a viewing platform reached by taking steps down. It was soaking wet, so I didn’t try going down there.  

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another image from April 25, 2018 shows a similar view when the flow was lower. Then that viewing platform was nice and dry.
