Good vid Ray.

Thanks for visiting Idaho Ray. I met you at snowbird Mesa, Arizona. Sorry about the snow, Lol

Not bad Ray. Sidenote, no matter the water shortage, there is always enough for the golf courses.

Driven over that bridge many a time! It is spectacular, especially in summer. Shoshone - "shuh show nee".

Actually, I've had several locals tell me they call it Show-Shown and that's how they say it on the local news channels I watched. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5pl3MSdg9TXo7A.html and here on the Smithsonian Channel - kzread.info/dash/bejne/gXZ2w8GwmqiWm5c.html So I guess both are acceptable ways to say it.

I'm sorry you didn't get to have a little better weather while you were here but I am glad you did like what you did see in our little part of Heaven here and Idaho oh, y'all come back anytime Ray yeah here

Well done. Makes me miss travelling. That bridge looks so spindly; amazing it holds solid. Nice video in the views and scope of things seen and done. I wanna GO!

Yes very strange weather. I live just west of Portland and was interested in to wake to snow this time of year. My wife and I are driving through there in late July and will have check the area. Great video Ray. Safe travels…

Very nice!!

Always nice to see your videos. Went thru last , fun

I wish you could have seen the base jumpers it’s so exciting. Thanks for doing justice to my town. It’s too bad the weather was so bad

Nice. We visited the falls and the bridge and the jump a few years ago in early May and it was about the same water levels. Were pulling our 5th wheel so did not go down to balanced rock.

Another great video Ray

love your video . glad you enjoyed our area .I'm from this area , been here majority of my life . the bench you walked past down in Centennial is in memory of my uncle don . i sit and visit with him every time i visit the canyon which is quite frequently in spring & summer .it is one of my fave places to walk and get out in nature and get wildlife photos. lots of wildlife in that canyon . There's a herd of deer that are in that area frequently along with alll kinds of birds from pelicans ,& seagulls to ducks, geese ,even bald eagles & quail .theres lots of lizards and snakes ,yes even rattlers so watch your step if you are off trail. there is also a large amount of rock chucks which is what was on that rock when you wondered what it was . there is even an albino rock chuck living down there below waterfall that you drive past on way down into canyon . lots of rabbits and coyotes too. you should definitely make a trip back up here in early summer before it gets to blazing hot and dry . its beautiful that time of year when everything is in bloom and the animals are all over the place. if you come back up this way , make time to go to the south hills south of hansen ., there is alot of moose in those hills , might see a big momma with her babies . one of the mommas up there has twins most every yr . dont get to close tho they arent very friendly . thanks for sharing your video . if ever back up this way and need a few ideas on places to visit, let me know, i know lots of places to check out .

This is one of your better videos Ray. A nice combination of natural and man made structures and supportive narrative as well. Many of us will never have the opportunity to visit many of the areas where you travel and really appreciate your efforts that give us the chance to see sights we could only read about otherwise. Well done!!

We just came into the area in mountain home.

Thank you for the great video. Usually we just drive through there on our snowbird trip home but next time we will stop and visit. In March 2020 as covid it, and we were rushing home to Canada, we drove over the bridge and I saw two people jump from the bridge. That gave me quite a start so some quick googling told me about the base jumpers. Might even try that campsite along the Snake River. I think our Pleasure Way class B won't have much a problem there.

Nicely done! My wife is from an area North of there so we have explored the areas a number of times... We've found faire grounds in small places a much better solution than Walmarts. Most are not free but worth the nominal fee they charge. Really nice area's North of where you are as well. "Normally" as you head north it can get cooler and more mountainous depending on your route. It can get really hot in the summer where you are now though. I don't mean to be critical, but just fyi ... long "e" on the Falls (show-show-knee) 😊Named after the tribe. Lots of Native American names in the N.W.

Were all set up for dry camping so don't really need to pay for the hookups. Cheers, Ray

I needed to make a correction on the way you pronounce the Falls. It's pronounced: Sho shown. I realize you're not a native, but I was raised in Twin as a little girl and for part of my adulthood.
