Best Idaho Falls Day Trips & Things to Do

The tranquil water falls located on the Snake River in the city of Idaho Falls are a popular attraction and a nearby river walkway offers spectacular vantage points. The city of Idaho Falls used to be a town called Eagle Rock until it changed its name in 1891 to reflect the original rapids turned into falls with a 20-foot drop by the construction of a diversion dam in 1911. The Idaho Falls Idaho Temple is a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints religious structure located right behind the falls.
