Shoshone Falls

Also known as the Niagara Falls of the West, the Shoshone Falls is so beautiful that you will be enchanted. It is being used as a tourist attraction since the 19th century.

The Shoshone Falls that is located on the Snake River in Southern Idaho, is one of the largest natural waterfalls in the whole United States. The funny fact is that the original Niagara Falls is way smaller than the Shoshone Falls.

The breathtaking landscape along with the amazing color of the leaves and the fabulous rocks creates brilliant scenery that you will never forget.

 

Cascade Falls

The main attraction of the beautiful Cascade Falls Park with its beautiful emerald waters is one of the best Waterfalls in the US to visit.

With the water falling down into the pool which is surrounded by two huge, amazingly shaped cliffs, there is always a fabulous landscape, making you amazed as well as relaxed.

With around 200,000 visitors per year, the Cascade Falls is one of the most popular natural attractions of the entire East coast, and truly one of the most beautiful ones of them.

The best and safest path to take in order to reach the best view of this waterfall is to use the trails that are equipped with stairs, as the area out of this trail has steep cliffs and slippery rocks, and the chance to fall down is so high. The mentioned trail leads to a platform and a suspension bridge, both providing incomparable scenery.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2515″ img_size=”800*500″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
