Heading West - Day Eight

We drove through the breathtaking beauty of Utah and finally reached the great state of Idaho. Much to our dismay the landscape became quite flat and boring. Far off in the north you could see the tiny ridge line of the great Rockies. Sadly outhern Idaho is what most people driving across the United State see when they are heading west to east or vice versa. When we reached Twin Falls we were quite shocked to see how deep the Snake River gorge really is! How did those early pioneers get across? The surprising part is that you have absolutely no idea that a large crack in the earth is up ahead until you are on its rim. We stopped for the night just outside of Twin Falls with the plan once again to reach our destination in the early part of the day instead of late in the evening.
