Idaho Falls, Idaho
330 miles and 7.25 hours from Elko
Another long drive today, from arid desert into lush agriculture, always surrounded by distant mountains.  
Pretty, but, can SOMEBODY tell me why the hot sun is ALWAYS on MY side of the car?***!

Back to the scenery...lots of crops with cute ranch homes and hunky men moving irrigation pipes.  Idaho is the potatoe capital of the U.S., you know!  

A short side trip to Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls, ID.   The falls are higher than Niagara Falls!

Arrived in Idaho Falls at 6 p.m. with plenty of time to ride  6 miles along the Snake River Parkway bike trail, past a 600-foot wide waterfall (photo below).   Stopped to enjoy a live band playing at a restaurant overlooking the river.
