Description:
Though it goes by more
names than an escaped convict, once you see Twin Falls in person, you
won’t mistake it with any other waterfall. The left and larger of
the falls pitches from a height of 75-feet over a massive slab of
granite, while the right side manages a short drop onto another chunk
of stone and then slides down a 45-degree slope before rejoining its
brother.
All in all, a fine show and only an easy 15-minute walk.
