We had an absolutely fantastic experience and a truly wonderful time. The drive to this place is a bit adventurous, but it's well worth the effort. There are numerous scenic lookout points along the way, each offering breathtaking views. The trek to Twin Falls is an absolute must—an unforgettable highlight of the trip!
