I definitely recommend stopping by here for the views if nothing else if you're in the area.

Visitor center is chock full of gifts and swag for NPS and Craters of the Moon. Get your NPS passport stamp here, good restroom facilities, top off on your water, get a map and get the free permit stamp/brief for the cave portion. The ranger fee station is just down the road after you have your permit and off and running you go! The loop is a quick drive by itself. There are multiple pull off areas with parking for hiking trails or a quick scenic over prior to it transitioning to the one way roads. Adequate parking available for light season. Bathrooms are available at a few of the major stops as well (old school no running water). The lava fields trails and approximately 3/4 of a mile (one way) hike to the caves can be very warm on a hot day. Ensure to stay hydrated and use some sunscreen if spending quality time within the park. Enjoy!

The park is a pretty good size. There aren't a ton of picnic tables, but there are a few scattered throughout the park. There were plenty of trees providing shade too. It was pretty empty when we were there, but I think it was a weekday during the day so that's not surprising. Overall, it was a nice place to relax and spend some time outside.

Wow!!! Perrine Coulee Falls is simply majestic. I can't rave about it enough! So cool. A natural…read morewonder that is a sight to behold! Perrine Coulee Falls is located right in the heart of town in Twin Falls, Idaho. One afternoon I was grabbing lunch at McDonalds, and next I was driving 1 mile away and witnessing this 200 foot waterfall plunge. It's that easy. There are about 6 - 7 spaces for cars to pull off Canyon Springs Road to park. If they are all filled up, you can drive lower down the road near Twin Falls Waterfront Park and leave your car there and then walk back up to the waterfall. Once here, there's a circular pathway going around and underneath the falls. So, you have multiple opportunities from different angles to admire the views no matter where you may be standing. Perrine Coulee Falls splashes down into a corner of the Snake River Canyon. It's this tucked away waterfall, but on display for everyone to see, and free of charge. Looking up at the waterfall, it's like an action packed adrenaline punch hitting you in the face. The free fall drop can be inspiring. Extra Notes... - The waterfall flows year round but is more forceful in spring and summer times with snow melting. - There's nowhere to swim. - The backdrop looking away from the waterfall is impressive. There's a beautiful golf course located right beside the falls. In fact, while you're teeing off at one of the holes, you can easily view Perrine Coulee Falls. - Down at the base of Canyon Springs Road is Twin Falls Waterfront Park where you can do rafting, kayaking or paddle boarding along the Snake River. Also, Perrine Memorial Bridge is nearby where brave souls base jump, free fall and parachute down from the top of the 486 foot bridge. It's an incredible setting for getting a firsthand glimpse into base jumping. - You only need 20 - 25 minutes here at Perrine Coulee Falls. It's such a pleasant and easy stop. - I came on by at the end of July around 3pm and there were just a few people here. It never got too busy at any single moment and there was enough spacing between myself and others to grab undisturbed pictures. But, don't quote me on when people decide to visit, lol. Overall, what else can I say? If you are a waterfall enthusiast, you will love checking out Perrine Coulee Falls. And not only that, it's the entire state of Idaho. Not many people I know of explore this under the radar state, but there are some mighty dramatic waterfalls located throughout and if you have the time, you'll appreciate what the "potato state" has to offer :)

We've stayed at both the Smokey Mountain Campground at Castle Rocks State Park and a few miles…read morefarther west at the City of Rocks National Reserve. Both campgrounds are great, but Smoky Mountain has water and electric hookups and free showers, along with a dump station. City of Rocks doesn't have either of them, but you're camping among the rocks that make up the city. The camp hosts at Smoky Mountain were friendly and the grounds were well-maintained. Just watch for the cattle that sometimes wander through. Drive to the park from the Declo exit on Interstate 84. Even coming from Boise, that's a better route than through Burley and Oakley. You end up on a dirt road coming from that side and it takes a lot longer to get there.

I saw hikers and bikers around the campsite. I stayed in campsite #1. I stayed in Smokey Mountain camp loop located a couple of miles from the visitor center. First left as soon as you turn into the campground road from the visitor center. The camp signs were difficult to read at night so we missed our turn and ventured far to Twin Sisters in City of Rocks National Reserve. The campsites are closely located to one another. We were able to hear our neighbors conversations clearly, so not as much privacy. Our campsite had little shade. The views are really nice in the morning. You are able to see the mountains when you walk around the campsite loops. The restrooms are clean. Showers are available but we didn't use them so won't comment on that. Dog friendly campsite and doggie poo bags are available. Recycling is available for plastic and aluminum only. Further down the road is City of Rocks National Reserve which is an absolute must see if you ever stay here! It is a very scenic drive of the rocks and mountains. You are able to hike near/around the rocks. I even saw visitors climbing the rocks, but not sure if that was allowed or not. There is also a creek overlook trail that you can venture off too - up to a certain point, vehicles are no longer allowed. Would have loved to spend more time at this park! Has everything you need - water, electricity, showers, restrooms, hiking trails, dog friendly and scenic views. Self registration is available for those that book last minute. Self registration booth is located about a mile or so before reaching the campsite loop. It will be hard to spot. I booked online and had to pay the online fees - but it's a guarantee for a reserved spot. If you are visiting City of Rocks National Reserve, prepare to drive on dirt, gravel and bumpy roads.

Box Canyon is a 20 foot waterfall located in one of the Thousand Springs State Park units near…read moreWendell, Idaho. It's $7 entrance fee which is asked to be paid when you enter. Fill out a slip with payment and drop it into the safe box beside the gate. Then it's one mile drive to the parking area. Box Canyon Springs is not hard to reach. It's a half mile descent 400 feet into the valley floor below. As you keep going, the falls will be on the right hand side. They can't be missed. Then you can turn around and head back towards the canyon summit. But, if you have the time and want to explore more, Box Canyon Springs is a 3 mile loop. This will give you better opportunities to walk among nature alongside the Snake River. I must confess...the hike was better than seeing the actual waterfall, imo. Starting out beside the parking lot, take in the views from high above the canyon looking down as the Snake River veers its way through the valley floor. It's worthy of a photo from the overlook. You'll notice a small staircase with a few steps to climb over the barbed wire fencing. It adds a unique element to the journey. Then walk a short distance more until reaching a sign saying..."Caution: Unimproved Trail, Use at Your Own Risk". Don't be deterred by this sign. It's not dangerous whatsoever. It's here you'll discover the pathway leading down to the bottom. It's just a few switchbacks and is safe for everyone. Coming upon Box Canyon Springs...it's a decent waterfall. But with it being only 20 feet, it doesn't pack a punch of excitement or have that "wow factor" element I was anticipating. You may think the first area to see Box Canyon Springs is the best it'll get. The initial look at the falls is a side angle glance. But, if you continue just a little further on the trail, you'll discover a much more fluid backdrop of the falls splashing down the Snake River. There'll be a specific rock to stand upon which allows you to take in the scenery of Box Canyon Springs in its entirety. Going back to the actual hiking trail...it's easy - moderately challenging. What I really liked about hiking it was...for early August, the temperatures in Idaho were reaching 100+ degrees, but being next to the river offered a breeze and fresh air which cooled things down considerably. And when I started hiking, it was still morning time so being in nature without suffering from the heat was a relief, lol. Although I just did the out and back hike, according to visitsouthidaho.com, the path wraps around an aqua blue pool which you can go swimming in. Although the waters are mighty cold, they can be refreshing. Lastly, just a note on what I was doing. This whole area of Thousand Springs, Idaho is waterfall accessible. I visited 5 waterfalls all in one day. Starting out in Twin Falls, ID, they were...Niagara Springs, here at Box Canyon Springs, Lemmon Falls and Minnie Miller Springs (located together on Ritter Island) and finally...Devils Washbowl at Malad Gorge State Park. Out of these 5 waterfalls, Lemmon Falls was the clear winner from my pov. In the end, Box Canyon Springs is a quiet setting to bask in the heart of the great outdoors. I was just one of a handful of visitors out exploring this under the radar part of Southern Idaho that's surrounded by total farmland. Although the 20 foot waterfall wasn't magical looking, I still enjoyed making the trek down to the canyon floor and taking time to explore around.
