The Snake River Gorge has this beautiful waterfall and the rainbow stood out in this view of it.
Rainbow in evening light at high water, Shoshone Falls near the town of Twin Falls, Idaho
Taken in the mid 1980’s, when traveling with a college choir group, these gorgeous falls were humongous. I had no idea they were so close, just next door to my home state of Utah, USA, until we came upon them. I’d always thought to find large falls like this you needed to head over to Niagara in New York. These, of course, couldn’t compare to those, but they were grand.

Located near Twin Falls, Idaho these falls when viewed in the early spring are called the Niagra of the West. Later in the year the volume of water coming down is much lower due to irrigation use. These falls are fed by the Snake River.

It is a waterfall on the Snake River located approximately five miles east of Twin Falls, Idaho. Sometimes called the “Niagara of the West,” Shoshone Falls is 212 feet (64.7 m) high-36 feet (10.97 m) higher than Niagara Falls- and flows over a rim 900 feet (274 m) wide. A park overlooking the waterfall is owned and operated by the City of Twin Falls. Shoshone Falls is best viewed in the spring as diversion of the Snake River for irrigation often significantly diminishes water levels in the summer and fall. Shoshone Falls has existed for 30,000 to 60,000 years. It is a total barrier to the upstream movement of fish. The falls was the upper limit of sturgeon, and spawning runs of salmon and steelhead could not pass the falls. Yellowstone cutthroat trout lived above the falls in the same ecological niche as Rainbow Trout below it. Due to this marked difference, the World Wide Fund for Nature used Shoshone Falls as the boundary between the Upper Snake and the Columbia Unglaciated freshwater ecoregions. Only 35% of fish species of the upper Snake River are shared with the lower Snake and Columbia rivers. Fourteen fish species found in the upper Snake are also found in the Bonneville freshwater ecoregion (which covers the Great Basin portion of Utah), but not the lower Snake or Columbia rivers. The upper Snake River is also high in freshwater mollusk endemism (such as snails and clams).[1]. Used my Canon EOS, Digital Rebel XT, with Canon Ultra Sonic Zoom EF Lens 70-300 mm., 1:4-5.6, with Image Stabilizer. I took this shot on March 15, 2009.
