Mesa Falls, Idaho.

Easily one of the most beautiful attractions in the State of Idaho, Mesa Falls consists of two spectacular waterfalls on the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River (Eastern Idaho). Having driven from Island Park, we drove the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway, and could hear the thunder of the falls before we even reached the pull off.

Rivalling even some of the most iconic waterfalls we witnessed in Iceland, Upper Mesa Falls (pictured above) completely took our breath away. A short hike from the carpark pull off, we were astounded by the sheer natural beauty of the area, and the contrast of the powerful white rapids against the backdrop of a sea of vibrant pines.

Parking was $5 per car, however we were granted access to the falls with the use of our National Parks Pass.
