Description: Vintage Print: "The Niagara of the West-Great Shoshone Falls" Year of Publication: 1869 Harper's Weekly Size: 16" x 11" Condition: good-very good, part of bottom margin trimmed (see pictures) Shoshone Falls, also known as the "Niagara of the West," is a stunning natural waterfall located on the Snake River in southern Idaho, United States. It is one of the largest natural waterfalls in the United States and is renowned for its beauty and power.Key features of Shoshone Falls:Size: The falls drop about 212 feet (65 meters), making them higher than Niagara Falls by about 45 feet (14 meters). The width of Shoshone Falls varies depending on the season and water flow but can be as wide as 900 feet (270 meters) during the peak springtime flow.Surroundings: The falls are surrounded by a rugged, rocky canyon landscape, providing a picturesque backdrop. The canyon walls rise up to 350 feet (110 meters) above the river level.Flow: The volume of water flowing over the falls can vary significantly throughout the year. The peak flow occurs during spring when melting snow from the Rocky Mountains feeds into the Snake River. Summer and autumn months typically see lower water levels, which can still be impressive but not as dramatic as the spring flow.Recreational Activities: Shoshone Falls Park, managed by the city of Twin Falls, offers various recreational opportunities for visitors, including picnicking, hiking, and photography. There are also viewpoints and walking paths that provide excellent vantage points for viewing the falls.Accessibility: Shoshone Falls is easily accessible by car, and there is a parking area near the overlooks. There is a small entrance fee to access the park.Environmental Impact: The flow of water over Shoshone Falls is significantly influenced by the operation of several upstream dams, which control water releases. These dams have an impact on the falls' natural flow and appearance.Shoshone Falls is not only a popular tourist destination but also holds cultural significance for the Shoshone and Bannock Native American tribes, who have inhabited the region for centuries. The falls are a natural wonder and a testament to the beauty and diversity of the American landscape. Visitors from all over the world come to witness the awe-inspiring power and majesty of Shoshone Falls.
