Where the Waterfalls Are
Buhl sits in or near the Snake River Canyon and Magic Valley area of Idaho. Around the city of Twin Falls, the Snake River runs through a sheer basalt canyon, and the waterfalls here are as much about rock as water. Shoshone Falls is the headline, a wide horseshoe of cascades, with Twin Falls and Pillar Falls nearby on the same stretch of river. Perrine Coulee Falls drops over the canyon rim in a single long plunge. In Gooding County, spring water emerging from the canyon walls feeds smaller falls. To the west, Jump Creek Falls in Owyhee County sits at the end of a short narrow canyon in volcanic cliffs, an oasis in sagebrush country. Read the Idaho waterfall guide.
