Where the Waterfalls Are
Ashton sits in or near the Henrys Fork and Eastern Idaho area of Idaho. On the western edge of the Yellowstone region, the Henrys Fork of the Snake flows off a high volcanic plateau and over two major drops. Upper Mesa Falls has a viewing platform close to the brink, and Lower Mesa Falls is seen from an overlook downstream, both along a scenic byway through lodgepole pine forest. South of Idaho Falls, Fall Creek Falls in Bonneville County spills over travertine ledges directly into the Snake River in Swan Valley. Caribou County, in the mountains of the southeast, rounds out this region. Snow lingers at these elevations, and access roads can be closed or unplowed in winter. Read the Idaho waterfall guide.
