The canyon ranges up to 500 feet (150 meters) deep and 0.25 miles (0.4 kilometers) wide, and runs for just over 50 miles. Perrine Bridge crosses the canyon immediately north of the city of Twin Falls. Shoshone Falls Park lies approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) east of Perrine Bridge along the canyon.

This is my most favorite place in Idaho (I almost don't want to share it, but please leave no trace and take care of our forest.)    A 2 mile mostly flat trail takes you to the edge of the Sawtooth Wilderness area.  You can hike or bike in (no bikes into the wilderness area.) A few downed trees may be on trail so beaware when riding bike.  Directions- just before Redfish lake lodge, parking on left, trail on right.
