The State of Idaho contains some of the most wild and remote land in the lower 48 states. Stretching from the Great Basin desert on the border of Nevada, across the great Snake River Plain, past the rugged and aptly named Sawtooth Mountains up into the western extension of the Rockies, Idaho has many faces and with it follows many waterfalls. Because much of the state is remote, very few waterfalls are known to occur in Idaho, but an immense aquafir system in the Snake Plain, lofty mountains in the central interior and a lake-studded north all ensure there are many waterfalls to be found in the state – probably hundreds more than are currently known. |
