We got into town early and I dropped off Amanda so she could get some work done. I went to play golf at this small course in town. I got paired up with this older gentleman and eventually, this man around my age joined us.
It was a nice course. Kept in real good shape but it was extremely narrow which is always a bit of a challenge for me. I ended up chipping in on one hole which was pretty cool.
In the afternoon we went to one of the parks because it was unusually hot for Twin Falls. About 95 degrees. But the park had a ton of shade and a small creek that we dipped our feet into.
Later in the afternoon, we moseyed over to Shoshone Falls. It’s the biggest thing to do in this area. It’s quite impressive, to be honest. They call it the “Niagra of the West”. You can’t get super close but there were a couple of good viewpoints.
The lake up the road was a really nice spot as well. There’s a beach and a closed-off area for swimming in the lake. It was a welcome sight. We were hot and we swam in the water for a bit.
We made a few friends in the park. These guys were setting up a slackline and I asked them if I could jump on. They were really cool guys and one of them gave us a few recommendations on what to do in the area.
The campsite wasn’t too far from the town. Just over the river on the ridgeline overlooking the business district. It was a really great spot and the views of the sunset and the canyon were really special. Can’t really beat a spot like this. Ten minutes from town but you are in an amazingly beautiful spot.
