Niagara's Rival. Idaho Lava Beds and Shoshone Falls
Tacoma Washington February 26 Idaho lava beds form a 300 to 900 foot deep mass along the eastern boundary. The Snake River carves through the lava, joining the Columbia and creating a grand landscape with Shoshone and Twin Falls. The river breaks into four channels, plunging 80 and 210 feet, with the Bridal Veil falls noted for lace like spray and a rainbow halo over a vast desert panorama. A family of eagles nests near a reef, while the scene astounds with unfathomable beauty and awe.
