Southern Idaho is very photogenic, but some of those locations are hidden away just waiting to be discovered. Listed are the most photogenic locations in Southern Idaho!
1. Shoshone Falls
The most iconic destination in Twin Falls is Shoshone Falls. The Niagara of the West is 212 ft tall, has a rainbow almost all day everyday, and looks incredible at sunrise and sunset. This place makes for the picture perfect post card!
2. Perrine Bridge
Seen from multiple views along the Snake River Canyon, the Perrine Bridge stands almost 500 ft tall. BASE jumpers leap from the bridge and the water stills at dusk. The famous and historic bridge is perfect to capture! Where do you need to stay to capture the Perrine Bridge and Shoshone Falls? Stay at a glorious hotel in Twin Falls, the TownePlace Inn and Suites! If you enjoy more of a boutique option, book a room at the Fillmore Inn.

8. Balanced Rock
Balanced Rock makes a pretty neat selfie location because of its incredible shape! The huge boulder sits on a 3 foot by 17 inch pedestal, and legitimacy is balancing. Don’t worry, it won’t tip over any time soon so climb up to the top to get a photo with it!
