Twin Falls

Perhaps best known for Evel Knievel's failed 1974 attempt to jump it in a rocket-powered motorcycle, the canyon has become a destination for BASE jumpers, as Perrine Bridge spanning the canyon is the only man-made structure in the United States where BASE jumping is allowed year round without a permit (although bungee jumping is not; you will attract unwanted attention from local authorities if you attempt it). Golf is available on the canyon floor at the public Canyon Springs Golf Course and the private Blue Lakes Country Club.

Known locally as CSI, the College of Southern Idaho in the northwestern part of the city often features many cultural performances. The school's nationally recognized community college men's basketball program is a big draw during the winter months. Home games are always well-attended.

The self-proclaimed "Niagara of the West". Shoshone Falls is a waterfall on the Snake River east of the city. Indeed, the waterfall has a higher drop than its famed New York/Canada rival but is considerably narrower. Shoshone Falls is best viewed in the spring. By summer hydroelectric and irrigation demands on the Snake River often bring the flow down to a trickle, exposing the white bedrock underneath. Check website for current flow rates.

Notable features include the statue "Flights of Learning" by Bryce Pettit and the Idaho and Pacific Northwest History Room, or the Idaho Room for short.

Site of a major Japanese-American internment camp during World War II. Most of the camp's buildings were removed after the war and can be found throughout the Magic Valley region. However, the site has remains of the guard entry station, waiting room, and rock gardens as well as a reconstructed guard tower. The visitor center, in a historic warehouse, has exhibits, bookstore, and a park film narrated by actor George Takei (who was interned at Tule Lake camp in California).

Named after a man who was in charge of the Twin Falls Municipal Golf Course. There is a story walk, that is themed based on the seasons.

Held the week before Labor Day in nearby Filer, the Twin Falls County Fair is one of the largest in the state. The Magic Valley Comic Con was also held at the county fairgrounds.
