Shoshone Falls

The "Niagara of the West" - at 65 metres, taller than Niagara itself, thundering over a horseshoe rim in the Snake River Canyon of southern Idaho.

Easy. Just ~15 minutes by car from Twin Falls (TWF); a rental is easiest. A small (~$5) park fee at the gate. Paved overlooks give the classic view straight onto the horseshoe. April-June for peak snowmelt flow - by late summer upstream irrigation can leave it thin. Arrive early for the best light and parking. Pair with Dierkes Lake.
