Description

Added by Amanda Solomon

Eagle Falls is a low-key, 2 1/2-mile trail in the South Hills area of the Sawtooth National Forest that gives you good views of the Goose Creek mountains.

This is a well-maintained trail that's fairly easy. You hike through a forested area to eventually reach the top of a sage-covered ridge offering expansive views of the surrounding area before descending back down to a lovely meadow and more forest. You're likely to be the only person/group on the trail on any given day, and it's great for kids/dogs.

To get there, head south from Kimberly or Hansen until you reach Rock Creek road, then follow it into the hills until you pass Magic Mountain Ski Resort. Shortly after that you'll see Pettit Campground, with the Eagle Loop trailhead just inside of the south entrance.

This was a good little hike with super pretty views! It was a good hike for beginners. Be sure to stick right every time the path splits or else you won’t stay on the trial.

Great hike up the Eagle Trail this afternoon. However, it is late November so there was snow and of course, it was snowing. However, me and my wonderful three managed to make it up and down, while enjoying a beautiful scenery. We will be going to see this trail in the Spring or Summer of 2017. I can only imagine how glamorous it truly is when it's alive and flowing.

While this lake is out of the way, the drive through rural parts of Burley is worthwhile. From Heyburn drive 27 south to the small village of Oakley. Here you will follow W 1800 S a few blocks to S 600 W to the rustic Trapper Creek Road, which is more like a stout cattle trail. Drive down to the rocky shore or catch the beautiful vantage from the upper bends of the roadway. Drop in your boat, o...

Cliff Jump & Swim at Dierkes Lake

Dierkes Lake is located in the same park as Shoshone Falls so the $3 per carload entrance fee allows you to see both amazing locations. Just after the ticket booth in the park take a right at the fork in the road that will take you directly to Dierkes Lake, where you will find ample parking in the lot. The cool, refreshing lake includes a designated area for swimming that is monitored by life...

Enjoy a view of the waterfalls from one of the many lookout decks. For a longer adventure, hop on the paved Centennial Trail and walk, run, or bike 1.4 miles to the site of Evel Knievel's unsuccessful 1974 jump across the canyon on a rocke...

Hike the Snake River Canyon to Pillar Falls

From Eastland Dr. in Twin Falls, turn right onto Pole Line Rd. to find a small dirt pulloff with room for only a handful of cars on the north side of the road. The Snake River canyon is visible beneath, and a steep but wide access trail heads down from here.The descent is rocky and loose, so watch your footing. When you see the maintenance shack about 2/3 of the way down into the canyon, leave ...
