Shoshone Falls, known as "The Niagara of the West", is one of the true great waterfalls of the North American continent. The falls of the Snake River plunge 212 feet over a horseshoe shaped formation over 900 feet in width. Depending on the volume of water present in the falls it may take on many different forms, ranging from a solid, broad wall of water to three or four more delicate streams which braid down an otherwise dry cliff.
