Snake river and Shoshone Falls

On the advice of fellow camper, “Murphy” we checked out the Snake river overlook (where he and other brave individuals jump from the bridge with a parachutes!) From there we sought out another natural site of grandeur… Shoshone Falls. This was, by far HB’s favorite side adventure so far. We took a nice long walk around the volcanic canyon. We were sprayed by the mist from the falls, climbed rocks, delighted in younguns sliding down the misty grassy slope and encountered some interesting critters. HB got up close and personal to a “Rock Chuck” (yellow belly marmot) who promptly withdrew to the rocks with a sharp warning chirp!) On to Boise and other aventures next.
