The Waterfalls of Idaho Falls

From Grand Teton National Park I drove down to eastern Idaho to see the city with waterfalls in the center. The Snake River flows through Idaho Falls, and the area was a series of small rapids. Eventually a dam was built to capture hydroelectric power, and the falls area was created. The area is 1200 feet long with a 20 foot drop, and is located in downtown Idaho Falls.

There is a park and walkways along the falls, with grassy areas and lush greenery. It was Sunday, and there were many people enjoying the great weather.
