As we travel we like to visit places we haven’t seen yet. We’re headed back to Mesa for the winter, and since Idaho is sorta on the way – why not? One of the towns along our way was Twin Falls, so we decided to stay for a bit. This is a nice, smallish town. There isn’t a lot to do in the area, but definitely enough for a few days. We stayed at Oregon Trail Campground, which was just outside of town and had a good central location to see the area.

The first full day we were there we went to Perrine Bridge, which spans the Snake River. It is one of the few bridges in the country that allows base jumping and doesn’t require a permit for it!! We watched in awe as several people jumped. Fortunately, they all landed successfully!

Speaking of successful (or not) jumps, we also visited the site of Evel Knievel’s ill-fated attempt to jump the gorge. It really wasn’t very picturesque, but one of those things you have to visit if you’re in the area!
