Woody's Cove, Malad Gorge State Park, Idaho
A short video of the Woody's Cove area beside Malad River Gorge Thousand Springs State Park, Idaho. This small canyon isn't part of the main Malad River Gorge, however a spring waterfall flows freely over the cliff forming a small stream that eventually flows into the Snake River. When we went there was a beautiful rainbow created by the spray.

Waterfall near Sawpit Saddle Viewpoint, Hells Canyon Idaho USA
Road tripping the historic Snake River Idaho, is an off-freeway journey through merciless terrain, leading to surprising discoveries!
On our way to Sawpit Saddle Viewpoint in Hells Canyon, we rounded a hairpin turn, dove into an inside switchback and slid to a stop.
We were enthralled by the most enchanting woodland adorned with a crystalline waterfall, its mist flocking hundreds upon hundreds of fragrant wildflowers in brilliant rainbow colors.
What To Do And Where To Eat In Twin Falls Idaho
What to do and where to eat in Twin Falls Idaho
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining me on another journey. I am still in Twin Falls, Idaho this week. Our Airbnb host Julie had told us about Thousand Springs State Park in Hagerman, Idaho. We were extremely impressed! We started off the day at Malad Gorge and were wowed with Devil's Washbowl. Then we went to Ritter Island. Our friendly Idaho State Parks & Recreation volunteer shared with us some of the island's history. We were fascinated to learn that the springs there are fed by an aquifer that is the size of Rhode Island, and it takes 200 years to come to the surface! So wild to think about. The Magic Valley Antique Tractor Pullers were there that day, volunteering to plow a five-acre plot for oat planting. (The Southern Idaho Draft Horse and Mule Association was going to plant the oats afterwards.) Some were offering free horse-drawn wagon rides, so we decided to climb aboard and explore the island that way. The waterfalls and springs are so crystal clear! And it was neat to watch the antique tractors plowing the field...it was like we'd traveled back in time for a bit. It is cool that they're doing their part to keep history alive. After taking in the rest of the island and Minnie Miller's farm by foot, we set off to check out Minidoka Internment Camp. The locals we had met while kayaking the Snake River (see my previous Twin Falls episode) had told us about this, and we were intrigued. (He teaches high school history, so he was enthusiastic about it.) The national historic site did not disappoint! The property is nestled among rolling farm fields, and its remnants were fascinating to learn about and check out. It was like we were at a Japan Ghost Town. We felt admiration for the Japanese citizens that had to live there, and those that served for the United States armed forces. Our wonderful Airbnb host Julie yet again came through for us in suggesting we eat dinner at Janitizio Family Mexican Restaurant. Their food was pretty tasty and their service was great! Overall, we were quite pleased with our adventure in Twin Falls, Idaho!

Idaho: Minidoka Japanese Internment Camp
Minidoka National Historic Site is a National Historic Site in the western United States. It commemorates the more than 9,000 Japanese Americans who were imprisoned at the Minidoka War Relocation Center during the Second World War.
It all happened so quickly. The people of Japanese ancestry (Nikkei) on the West Coast of the United States had made lives for themselves in spite of discrimination, but on December 7, 1941, everything changed. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, panicked people believed every Japanese person could be a potential spy, ready and willing to assist in an invasion that was expected at any moment. Many political leaders, army officers, newspaper reporters, and ordinary people came to believe that everyone of Japanese ancestry, including American citizens, needed to be removed from the West Coast.
In February 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order that moved nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans into 10 isolated war relocation centers in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. These temporary, tar paper-covered barracks, the guard towers, and most of the barbed-wire fences are gone now, but the people who spent years of their lives in the centers will never forget them. This is the story of one of those centers: Minidoka
The Minidoka War Relocation Center was in operation from 1942–45 and one of ten camps at which Japanese Americans, both citizens and resident aliens, were interned during World War II.
The Minidoka irrigation project shares its name with Minidoka County. The Minidoka name was applied to the Idaho relocation center in Jerome County, probably to avoid confusion with the Jerome War Relocation Center in Jerome, Arkansas. Construction by the Morrison-Knudsen Company began in 1942 on the camp, which received 10,000 internees by years' end. Many of the internees worked as farm labor, and later on the irrigation project and the construction of Anderson Ranch Dam, northeast of Mountain Home. The Reclamation Act of 1902 had racial exclusions on labor which were strictly adhered to until Congress changed the law in 1943. Population at the Minidoka camp declined to 8,500 at the end of 1943, and to 6,950 by the end of 1944. On February 10, 1946, the vacated camp was turned over to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which used the facilities to house returning war veterans.
The Minidoka War Relocation Center consisted of 36 blocks of housing. Each block contained 12 barracks (which themselves were divided into 6 separate living areas), laundry facilities, bathrooms, and a mess hall. Recreation Halls in each block were multi-use facilities that served as both worship and education centers. Minidoka had a high school, a junior high school and two elementary schools - Huntville and Stafford. The Minidoka War Relocation Center also included two dry cleaners, four general stores, a beauty shop, two barber shops, radio and watch repair stores as well as two fire stations.
The U.S. Army opened military service to Japanese-Americans in 1943. Enlistees from Minidoka accounted for 25% of total volunteers and Minidoka suffered more casualties, male and female, than any other camp. The Minidoka Internees created an Honor Roll to acknowledge the service of their fellow Japanese-Americans. Although the original was lost after the war, the Honor Roll was recreated by the Friends of Minidoka group in 2011 following a grant from the National Park Service.
The internment camp site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 1979. A national monument was established in 2001 at the site by President Bill Clinton on January 17.
Shoshone Falls - Twin Falls, Idaho (2017) [HD]
Shoshone Falls is a waterfall on the Snake River in southern Idaho, United States, located approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of the city of Twin Falls. Sometimes called the Niagara of the West, Shoshone Falls is 212 feet (65 m) high—45 feet (14 m) higher than Niagara Falls—and flows over a rim nearly 1,000 feet (300 m) wide.
Formed by catastrophic outburst flooding during the Pleistocene ice age about 14,000 years ago, Shoshone Falls marks the historical upper limit of fish migration (including salmon) in the Snake River and was an important fishing and trading place for Native Americans. The falls were documented by Europeans as early as the 1840s; despite the isolated location, it became a tourist attraction starting in the 1860s. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Snake River was controversially diverted for irrigation of the Magic Valley, with the result that the falls no longer flow with force year-round. However, irrigation and hydroelectric power stations built on the falls were the primary contributors to early economic development in southern Idaho.
A park overlooking the waterfall is owned and operated by the City of Twin Falls. Shoshone Falls is best viewed in the spring, as diversion of the Snake River often significantly diminishes water levels in the late summer and fall. The flow over the falls ranges from over 20,000 cubic feet per second (570 m3/s) during late spring of wet years, to a minimum scenic flow (dam release) of 300 cubic feet per second (8.5 m3/s) in dry years. ~ wikipedia.org
