Description: Though it goes by more names than an escaped convict, once you see Twin Falls in person, you won’t mistake it with any other waterfall. The left and larger of the falls pitches from a height of 75-feet over a massive slab of granite, while the right side manages a short drop onto another chunk of stone and then slides down a 45-degree slope before rejoining its brother. All in all, a fine show and only an easy 15-minute walk.
