    Here you can see the ramp where Evel Knievel attempted to cross the canyon on a steam-powered rocket in 1974. The stunt failed due to a malfunctioning parachute, but Evel Knievel escaped with only a broken nose.

    Embark on the Snake River Canyon Rim Trail for a challenging hiking experience, covering 15.6 miles (25.1 km) with an elevation gain of 838 feet (255 metres). This difficult route typically takes around 6 hours and 40 minutes to complete. As you hike, you will be treated to expansive panoramic views of the deep canyon and the winding Snake River below, with the iconic Perrine Bridge soaring 500 feet above the river as a prominent landmark.

    Planning your visit to the Snake River Canyon Rim Trail is best done from late spring to early fall, when the weather is mild and the landscape is lush. While the trail remains accessible year-round, you should be cautious of potential ice and snow if you plan a winter hike. Parking is readily available at multiple points along the route, including the Twin Falls Visitor Center, which also offers restrooms and other amenities. Consider an early start to fully enjoy the long duration of this trail.

    The Snake River Canyon Rim Trail is notable for its dramatic geological features and natural wonders. You will witness the majestic Shoshone Falls, often called the "Niagara of the West," which are especially impressive during spring runoff. These powerful falls highlight the natural forces that shaped the canyon. The route offers incredible photo opportunities and a true sense of the region's unique environment.
