What To Expect

Twin Falls

Your interpretive guide will take you on a drive though the historic Old Town and Warehouse District of Twin Falls. In 1904, our town was founded and built and became home to shops, restaurants, theaters and more. This historic area has been restored much to its original state and refreshed with modern features, perfect for a leisurely visit after your tour. Take a short stroll through the Downtown Commons and immerse yourself in our art culture as you experience aspects of Idaho's history as told through colorful murals and statues.

Shoshone Falls

Take a short drive to Shoshone Falls, known as "the Niagara of the west". There, you will find yourself surrounded in ancient volcanic geologic history as your interpretive guide takes you back in time more than 15,000 years when Lake Bonneville overflowed its rim some 300 miles away ripping away Idaho's terrain and creating this stunning natural wonder ranked as one of the top three waterfalls in the United States. Walk down onto the main viewing platform for an up close experience and spectacular views just yards from the top of the flowing falls. This famous waterfall stands 212 feet high and spans 950 feet across the Snake River Canyon.

Perrine Bridge

Spanning 1,500 feet across the Snake River Canyon, the I. B. Perrine Memorial Bridge is at a height 486 feet above the Snake River. It is the only bridge in the United States where B.A.S.E. jumping is legal without a permit every day of the year, attracting jumpers from all over the world to its rails.

Buzz Langdon Visitor Center

Inside the center, you’ll find everything you need for your trip in Southern Idaho. Discover historic photos, watch informative videos, and learn more about the four national park properties in our area. Talk to staff for maps, travel guides, lodging deals and locals-only recommendations. The Center’s floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the Snake River & the Snake River Canyon, the 486-feet-tall Perrine Bridge, and the historic Evel Knievel jump site.

Evel Knievel Snake River Canyon Jump Site

On September 8th, 1976, the famous daredevil, Evel Knievel, attempted to jump across the Snake River on his final jump. Though the jump was not successful (Evel landed in the bottom of the Snake River Canyon and was safely rescued), his jump ramp is still visible from the I.B. Perrine Memorial Bridge and accessible via a paved walking path along the Snake River Canyon Rim o

Snake River Canyon Trail

Walk along the Snake River Canyon Trail as you make your way to the overlook platform for views of our two beautiful golf courses located in the canyon while watching kayakers and paddle boarders making their way to Pillar Falls and the mighty Shoshone Falls. Watch as B.A.S.E. jumpers "fly" off the the I. B. Perrine Memorial bridge right before your eyes as the descend on their 28 second ride into the Snake River Canyon.

I had never been to Idaho before visiting Twin Falls. The only thing I knew about Idaho was “Famous Potatoes.” So I figured what the heck, a guided tour might be informative. And indeed it was! Gabrielle, the owner of Big Green Adventure Tours, was my guide and I thoroughly enjoyed my tour. I did the Shoshone Falls and City tour. Gabrielle pointed out stuff I would have walked by and never noticed. She also provided me with interesting historical facts about the region, again stuff I never would have known. And not only was Gabrielle an excellent tour guide, she was also very friendly and pleasant!
