Leaving Burley, ID, we headed west on Hwy 30, once again choosing the red roads for a slower pace. We stopped and read many historical markers along the way and eventually ended up in a small community named after one of our grand daughters. Or so it seemed.
I put two shots of the same picture below. This first one just has Ann in it and she is looking downward. We usually set the camera on a tripod, set the timer for 10 - 20 seconds and then I run to get into the picture. The reason Ann is looking down is because I slipped and fell as I ran to get in this shot. I am on the ground, out of sight.
I managed to not slip on this try! Anyway, Kimmy, this one's for you!!
We then, as we were headed towards Twin Falls, stopped to view Shoshone Falls on the Snake River. They are beautiful and even though they are dammed, the engineers did a good job of preserving the falls.
We drove down a very steep and narrow road to get a closer view.
This land is so full of beauty. It feels good to be back in the Pacific Northwest. This is home and familiar to us, even though we have never seen these falls before.
We then drove into Twin Falls, ID and across the Snake River. We have been here before and it felt good to be on more familiar territory.
After crossing the bridge, we stopped for a walk down below the bridge. It was so peaceful here. We spend 30 minutes or so just absorbing the peace of the Snake River Canyon.
We both commented, as we stood there, that this view reminded us of a bridge crossing the Colorado River that we crossed a couple years back and saw a couple condors. It also reminded us of the bridge north of Redmond that crosses either the Deschutes or John Day River. Beautiful, eh!!!
Absorbing the peace of the Snake River.
