Idaho Falls and the Morman Temple

A tip today to Idaho Falls on an errand meant we had to stop at the park in the middle of town and see the falls.

Idaho Falls is created by a man-made diversion dam used for hydroelectric power. Before the dam was created, this was just a bunch of small rapids. Now, the Snake River makes a drop of about 20 ft. or so over a width of 1200 ft. It is an interesting location, and there is a beautiful walkway along the river here, so one can stroll along the whole length of the falls.

In this photo, you can just see a small section of the dam and in the background a Morman temple.
