Shoshone Falls Posted on December 25, 2016December 25, 2016 by kwschnei At 212 feet tall, Shoshone Falls are referred to as the “Niagra of the West” (mainly by the Idaho tourism people). It is 45 feet taller than Niagra Falls are though. The falls are located within a park operated by the city of Twin Falls, ID and a $3 entrance fee per private vehicle is required. Unfortunately, irrigation often drastically reduces the flow of water over the falls, so they are best viewed in the spring and early summer.
