It gets better and better the closer you get to it. The second time we came in mid August, the water level was quite low, so we had to carry the kayaks some extra distance before we can actually drop them in the water.Īs soon as we went around the corner, we got our first peek at the massive Shoshone Falls. The first time we were here in early June, the water level was higher, all the way up to the rock. After getting the kayaks to the other side of Pillar Falls, we took a quick break before getting back in the water. It looked so much easier! We were definitely a little jealous. While transporting our kayaks, we ran into a few people that used paddleboards or inflatable kayaks instead.
Dustin, being a hero, ended up carrying both of them by himself. Our rental kayaks weight about 45 lbs each, which make transporting it a bit cumbersome. During the winter or spring, the overflowing of water makes the passage to Shoshone Falls impossible. When the water level is high, it is very difficult to carry the kayaks.
TWIN FALLS WATERFALL DIRECTIONS FULL
Depending on the water level, this area can be completely dry or full of water. It were such a big help through mossy, slippery rocky areas.
We definitely recommend wearing your water shoes. You will need to navigate through small inclines, slippery and rocky sections as well as dense bushes. The portage section is about 200 yards or so. The easiest way is to approach it from the right-hand side. It is also where you need to pick up your kayak and carry it over to the other side of the falls. Around 2 mile mark, you will encounter Pillar Falls. There are also tons of small beaches along the way for a quick break if needed. It was a very pleasant and beautiful trek with little waterfalls running down the side of the canyon walls along the way. The water was calm, and smooth despite the wind. According to Maddie, the girl who checked us in, people tend to throw things down this bridge. To get to the falls, you will need to paddle toward the Perrine Bridge. However, it kind of canceled out the current on our way home. It was blowing upstream, which help on the way there. Our main challenge that day was the wind. The current wasn’t very fast, but you will be heading upstream on the way to the falls. Once in the water, we got our bearings and headed toward the towering bridge.
