Shoshone Falls

" "

Shoshone Falls is considered one of the most beautiful on our planet. Shoshone offers a magnificent view, which is formed along the Snake River, which flows through the northwestern part of the United States. Snake is the left and largest tributary of the Columbia River, with a total length of 1670 km. Shoshone Falls itself was formed about 8 km east of Twin Falls, in the U.S. state of Idaho.

The strange name of this beautiful natural phenomenon, is due to the Indian tribe of Shoshone, who inhabited these lands 12, 000 years ago. Shoshone is actually a collection of several fountains, which today are considered a symbol of the country. Not surprisingly, Shoshone is called the "Niagara of the West", because of its impressive size and beauty.

Water flows in from a height of 64.7 m, which makes it 10.97 meters higher than Niagara Falls. The width of the crest water Shoshone reaches 274 meters. It is believed that this natural formation was formed somewhere between 30, 000 to 60, 000 years ago.
