Shoshone Falls on the Snake River just outside Twin Falls drops 212 feet — 45 feet taller than Niagara Falls — earning it the nickname 'Niagara of the West.' The falls are visible from a dramatic overlook. Just downstream is where Evel Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon on his Sky-Cycle X-2 rocket motorcycle on September 8, 1974 — the parachute deployed accidentally at launch, and Knievel survived with minor injuries. The jump site is a tourist attraction.

Moving in Twin Falls: FAQ.
Can I really BASE jump from the Perrine Bridge?
Yes, legally. The Perrine Bridge is one of the few man-made structures in the US where BASE jumping is permitted year-round without special permits. Jumpers come from around the world. Spectators gather at the scenic overlook to watch. The 486-foot height gives parachutes time to deploy safely.
