Ep 2 - Boondocking Idaho - Waterfalls, Black Magic Canyon & more - Haven't Seen It Yet

In this four-part series, we take you on our September 2020 boondocking adventures in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. We will show our free camping spots in the Teton, Sawtooth and Bitterroot mountains. Our previous video, episode 1, includes two boondocking sites in the Teton National Forest overlooking the beautiful mountain range. Our first site was in the Upper Teton Overlook area (43.76322, -110.55410). The second was on Shadow Mountain (43.71159, -110.58433). In this 2nd episode we cross the Teton pass from Wyoming into Idaho and went in search of a camping spot in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest along forest road 253 (correction from video). We selected a spot about a half-mile from the end of the road. It was tucked under some trees on a nice flat lot, complete with horse hitching posts that we were able to use to hang our inflatable kayak to dry. (43.52853, -111.18739) The next day, I looked outside and saw dozens of sheep stampeding down the hill to the creek, then headed our way. As we watched in amazement, not dozens, but hundreds of sheep overtook our campsite. This was clearly the craziest thing we've ever been part of while camping. As we drove out of the mountains and looked down into the valleys below, it was no wonder why people choose to live in these quaint towns. Communities like Swan Valley were so picturesque with great views all around. Downtown Idaho Falls was our next stop, with views of the waterfalls on the Snake River. A family friendly park now runs alongside the river and falls. Shoshone Falls is referred to as "The Niagara of the West" and for good reason. Its 900 feet width and 212 feet height beats Niagara Falls by 45 feet. Tourists have visited Shoshone Falls as early as the mid-1800s when travelers along the Oregon Trail would detour to visit the Falls. Locals called for the creation of a national park around the falls, but Congress never approved the proposal. In 1932, Federick and Martha Adams donated the land to the city of Twin Falls for a public park. In 1933, the State of Idaho donated land to the west of the original park site to the City of Twin Falls. Four miles to the west of Shoshone Falls you will find the Perrine Bridge. This truss arch bridge is part of US highway 93 and spans the Snake River, 486 feet below. The bridge is known around the world as one place you're free to BASE Jump year-round without a permit. Two miles to the east, halfway between the Perrine Bridge and Shoshone Falls is the launch site where daredevil Evel Knievel survived his unsuccessful attempt to launch his rocket motorcycle over the mile-wide Snake River Canyon on September 8, 1974. Today, the launch site can still be seen in the distance but is nothing more than a large dirt ramp. Fans of Evel Knievel have erected a monument to commemorate his attempt. This monument can be viewed near the city's visitor center on the SW side of the bridge. We headed just north of the town of Hailey, finding forest service road 097 to the west. The site was large, surrounded by towering hills and backed up to a nice little creek. (43.54512, -114.44382) Backtracking south about 50 miles we stopped at Black Magic Canyon. Over the years, water has shaped the basalt rock lava flow into some cool looking sculptures that can only be described as spectacular. The canal is still used for irrigation and it is best visited in the spring and fall. Read the signs and make the call to the Big Wood Canal Company who controls the water flow to make sure it's safe to venture into the canyons. Our next adventure was to head north of Ketchum through the Galena Pass to see if we could find the old Silver King Mine. After a long, slow, rough drive on Forest Service road 204, we realized the mine was on private property and inaccessible. But we did stumble across the old historic Sawtooth City, so the trip wasn't a bust. This is all we could find of what remains of this town. We've been watching Marc Guido's Grand Adventure YouTube channel for quite a while and at the end of his intro there is this shot of his campsite on the North Fork Big Wood River. We wanted that site. When arriving, we found the site has changed was already occupied. So, instead we continued down the road to the end and found an even better spot on the river (43.85250, -114.43595).

Little did we know what the storm left for us down the road. Please leave your comments below. If you liked the video, we'd appreciate it if you'd take the time to give us a thumbs up.
