The end of the rainbow The amazing Shoshone Falls in Idaho. This is the Snake River, and the drop here is more than the Niagara Falls, though, of course, the volume is less. The Shoshone tribal territory historically included much of Idaho and so these falls. The Shoshone were one of the first tribes to adopt horses when they arrived from Europe and quickly used this to achieve battle superiority over neighboring tribes, and so extended their territory all the way North into Alberta at the expense of the Blackfoot tribes. These gains were relatively short-lived of course with the relentless western expansion of European settlers.
