We packed up Monday morning and headed off to Twin Falls before we drop down into Utah. As we pulled into the county park campgrounds, we thought we had the wrong spot at there was a huge party being held by Indians (folks from India), but at the far end of the park were some empty campsites. We quickly set up camp then took off to find all the falls along the Snake River.
Shoshone Falls gathered the most tourists, but at this time of year there was not enough water going over the drop to call it the Niagara of the West. Still it was impressive. Most of the water in the Snake River is diverted to irrigation canals for potatoes, wheat and other crops. We drove over to the Twin Falls and again we were disappointed because half of the falls has been damned up to be used for electrical generation.
But we were not disappointed in the scenery as we dined at Elevation because they overlooked the two golf courses in the bottom of the canyon and had a great view of the bridge spanning the canyon.
The view of the golf courses convinced John that we should play a round on one of the courses, so on Tuesday morning I made tee times for us on the Canyon Spring Golf Course. It was so nice and very pretty. From the bottom of the canyon we could see several waterfalls spilling over the canyon walls. I played a pretty good game and John did okay.
