Centennial Waterfront Park and the Perrine Coulee Falls in Twin Falls are located along Canyon Springs Road, which winds down into the Snake River canyon near the Perrine Bridge. The park and falls are some of the most popular spots in Twin Falls, as one can find kayak rentals, ziplines, pavilions, a boat launch, and riverfront access. The falls are located about halfway down into the canyon and are easily accessible. One can follow the trail and walk behind the falls and view them from many perspectives. One morning in June 2026, I drove down into the canyon for some sunrise photos, and afterward as the sun was beginning to appear I parked at a trailhead below the falls and hiked up the hillside for some views with the sun. I left the trail and found an interesting old weathered tree stump that looked perfect for the foreground and set up my tripod very low on the steep hillside. I laid down to keep from sliding down, set the focal distance that I wanted, and waited for the sun to crest the canyon wall near the bridge. As the sun came into view, I shot several images, and in this one I was able to capture a sun star, and the golden light across the canyon.
