Idaho Falls

It's surprising how quickly the blog falls behind.  I do have a small excuse, we were without internet for a couple of days, but that doesn't explain a whole week of silence.

After Yellowstone, we spent a few days in Idaho Falls which we all agreed is a perfect-sized town. It has all our favorite stores, including Fred Meyer where Diana and I splurged and each bought pants!

The Snake River goes through town and is half dammed and half natural.

There's a lovely river walk that goes on for miles.

Nearby is Hell's Half Acre, where, 4000 years ago, lava oozed from a deep crack in the earth's crust, instead of from a fiery blast.

But wait!  I just realized that I skipped something.  On our way from West Yellowstone to Idaho Falls, we took the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway and enjoyed pretty 114-foot Upper Mesa Falls.

Where we witnessed a sweet marriage proposal.

And we were surprised to see a sign advertising a man wearing cheese.  Imagine that.

  1. We like Idaho Falls also. But we've never been to Mesa Falls. Need to do that sometime.

  4. Maybe you need to re-read that sign. Then you could go find some good cheese to eat.
