Idaho waterfalls

We are on a trip thru Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon. These are pictures of some Idaho waterfalls.

Shoshone Falls is among the most spectacular of natural beauties along the Snake River. At 212 feet, the falls are higher than Niagara Falls.












Idaho Falls in the city of the same name is created by a man-made diversion dam used for hydroelectric power. Before the dam was created, this was just a bunch of small rapids. Now, the Snake River makes a drop of about 20 ft. or so over a width of 1200 ft.

Lake Tahoe Views

Joan and I recently spent the weekend at Lake Tahoe to watch Bob Newhart's show on the one day he was appearing at Harrah's South Shore Room. Stayed at a hotel on the shores of the lake and the following pictures are views from the hotel beach and the pier. These short trips are a great way to get away from it all.
Be sure to scroll around to get the full view after you click on the picture.
