Day Trip to Shoshone Falls!

Yesterday -  Me & Mom & Dad 

went on a mini road trip 2 hrs west to

Shoshone Falls 

With a 212 foot drop and a width of 900 feet, it is one of the largest natural waterfalls in the United States.

 It is also known as the Niagra of the West

The flows over the falls are seasonal runoffs

 from the mighty Snake River, which carves its way through deep basalt canyons and is the largest tributary to the Columbia River.

The best time to visit Shoshone Falls is during peak water flows, between the months of April and July. 

With the near record snowfall we had this year the run off has made the falls quite spectacular!

This is a view of the Snake River coming into the falls

Getting closer

One of several overlooks

The power of the water rushing over the falls

sent spray way up into the air

Me and Dad on the overlook

Mom would not get close!

This is where we were

An incredible view!

When we were walking on the path a lady stopped 

and asked if I slept with Mom & Dad

Mom thought that was a strange question but said yes

The lady laughed and said

"Well then you have bed pugs"

BOL! 

A stunning view!

I think I like having both Mom & Dad retired

if we get to have adventures like this!
