If you’re so inclined, Twin Falls Idaho is for you. It has one of the few bridges that has been officially qualified for BASE jumping without a permit. For those not into this sport, “BASE” is an acronymn for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings, antennae (referring to radio masts), spans (bridges), and earth (cliffs.) The Perrine Bridge located next to the Twin Falls Visitor Center spans the Snake River, and from the top looks pretty formidable.

We drove to Shoshone Falls where just east of the falls is located the site where Evel Knievel attempted his Snake River Canyon jump on his Skycycle X-2 in September 1974 (remember that?) The jump failed because of a parachute malfunction, and the ramp where he made the leap now sits on private property. In the picture below, find the narrowest gap across the river, and we believe that is the where the jump was attempted.
