Stunning national forest, especially up near Stanley, Galena Summit, and Redfish Lake and vicinity. Just skip past Ketchum and hold on to your wallet

Shoshone Falls

Reviewed By ColleenC974

This was an awesome stop on our trip out west! The falls themselves are beautiful from every angle (minus the big crane), but there is also a paved path you can take to not only see the falls from many angles, but you can walk all the way down to see the jump site from Evel Knievel's unsuccessful attempt to rocket over the Snake River! (That was a must do for my husband.) The whole park was fantastic, and it's a nice place to just slow down, take your time, and take it all in. In addition, they have a small little concession stand where we found a cute ornament to commemorate our visit there. We absolutely loved our time here!

Centennial Waterfront Park

Reviewed By TravelingCarberries - Lincoln, United States

Doesn't look like much from above, but a VERY cool area with some amazing photo opps. Be sure to climb up the large rock formation in the center area for a super sweet photo with the Perrine Bridge, water, canyon walls, etc. for your background. And be sure to take the short hike under the big waterfall (park near the switchback as you drive down into the canyon).

Perrine Bridge

Reviewed By SunflowerDay - Fort Lauderdale, United States

This is a place you must see. It is a beautiful scenic point, has great trails for walking, biking near it, and is one of the only stationary BASE jumping sites in the US - so you get to see lots of action off the bridge. Hiking is easy, paved.

Rock Creek Park is near my hometown but I hadn't been there for many years. The park is now fixed with amenities for picnics and has a wonderful path along the canyon walls of lava and is great for wondering and exploring.

Buzz Langdon Visitor Center

Reviewed By PaulC2015

Didn't expect much, but I was impressed. The staff was very helpful & knowledgeable! Tons of maps and information. We only had a short time in Twin and were jonesing for some pizza. The guy at the desk gave 4 different *informed* options and a map to help us find them all. Beautiful building conveniently located right next to the Perrine Bridge...they share the same parking lot. I wish we had more time to spend here and find even more things to do. Great that it was open late!!

Stop at shashone falls then head over to this lake for a perfect day! Lots of swimming beach area, diving board. Hike to the right of lake on a gravel road about 2-3 miles and leads to staircase that goes up the canyon wall and to the canyon ridge . This is a perfect lake day .
