If you think Niagara Falls is breathtaking, wait until you experience Idaho's Shoshone Falls, the "Niagara of the West." From: AERIAL AMERICA: Idaho bit.ly/1lGN75N
Because they don't really tell you the true historyjust like they say the Grand canyon is the deepest River gorge in North America but it ain't it's hells canyon and Idaho you can Google it and check it out Idaho is one of the most beautiful states in the United States of America
I'm blessed to live only 4 miles from this wonder over in Kimberly, Idaho! I go there year-round and it never gets old. I've even been there when it's snowing 🌨!!!!
0:21 Thousand Springs for most of my life this waterfall was home I still live in the area but have since relocated to Bliss but I still make the pilgrimage to the falls when ever I head to Buhl to make a pick up.
Shoshone Falls this majestic waterfall is the artist that carved The Snake millions of years ago. every day millions of gallons of water tumble over the falls and into the canyons below forming The Snake as it heads to the sea. Some times the falls run dry the reason is farmers are diverting the water into the Twin Falls Canal 18 miles upstream at Millner Dam.
Poor Niagara Falls! People are always saying this or that waterfall is "taller than Niagara". Big deal. Niagara's fame comes not from its height, but from the tremendous volume of water flowing over its brink. Before 1952, when power plants diverted the flow, it was twice what it is today! Niagara is still impressive, despite the commercial development all around it. Just don't expect to have to strain your neck to see the top of it. It's only about as tall as a 16 story building, but you will be awed by the depth and speed of the river. if you want to get petty about it, Shoshone Falls can't say it has a brink that's 2,000 feet long like the Horseshoe Falls of Niagara, but It's still beautiful, in its own way, and unexpected in Idaho's parched high desert land.
There are so many waterfalls taller than Niagara. It's only 100 ft ish tall. It's the width that makes it impressive. I love how this video makes the hatchery seem like an impressive feat, while the only reason for it is all the effing damns. Poor job smithsonian.
I really doubt your claim for salmon spawning up to Shoshene falls. Salmon return to where they were born. There is no way salmon could have been born above the falls. So POOR REPORTING.

I really enjoy the electricity in my house right now, so could we not? Or we can fire back up the INL reactors if we agree to sever our power source? I'm very much a man of the 21st century and need electricity. Haha
