Mesa Falls, Snake River


T


wo of Idaho’s most spectacular waterfalls come one after the other. The fi rst, on the Henrys Fork of the Snake River, plummets 114 feet over a cliff of ancient basalt. A mile later, the river cascades another 65 feet down a narrow canyon. See both the upper and lower falls on the 29-mile Mesa Falls Scenic Byway from Ashton through the Caribou- Targhee National Forest. The drive rises from rolling farm- lands into the mountains, passing views of two river valleys and a sea of pine and Douglas fi r that stretches to the rugged Teton Range. (208) 652-7442, fs.usda.gov/ctnf.
