Shoshone Falls from the North Riverbank
Horizontal orientation. Canvas prints are available with optional barnwood or hardwood floating frames hand-crafted by the photographer, making a truly unique and one-of-a-kind piece of art. Please see images for details.
Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls Idaho is often referred to as the “Niagara of the West.” The Falls drop 212 feet, a little further than Niagara Falls, and when the water flows at full capacity it is a stunning sight. The snowpack was very light this winter, and the water flow in March has been unusually low. However, the lower water levels made it possible for me to cross the river on the rocks at Pillar Falls a little downstream, and scramble along the riverbank to capture an image from this perspective. I left home about an hour before sunrise, hiked down a mile from the road to Pillar Falls, where I crossed on the rocks and scrambled along the riverbank for about 2 more miles to get near Shoshone Falls. As I hiked, I stopped to capture some images with the sun rising in the background and then continued until I reached the utilities property and could not get any closer. I shot this image as the sun caught the surface of the waterfall, highlighting the falls beautifully. I loved the tree at the top of the cliff and worked to find a composition that included it. This was my favorite from this perspective.
