Twin Falls, Idaho: Death-Defying Jumps and Tranquil Trails near Snake River

Every city has its claim to fame, whether it boasts the weirdest roadside attraction or has been voted the best place to get a tan. Twin Falls tops a different list altogether: Livability.com voted it the Best Place to Defy Death. The town borders the Snake River Canyon, which Evel Knievel famously tried to cross in a rocket in the mid-1970s.

Nowadays, most people use the Perrine Bridge to cross the river, but several modern-day daredevils come for the vertical thrill of BASE-jumping. More prudent adventurers can take in the scenery (and see where Knievel jumped) by whitewater rafting through Snake River or hiking the Canyon Rim Trail. Another worthwhile hike is to Shoshone Falls, often called the Niagara of the West. The tranquil path (or drive) rewards visitors with a view of waterfalls spilling down a rugged, 200-foot-high rock face, and it’s just 3 miles east of Twin Falls.
