MESA FALLS SCENIC BYWAY, IDAHO

SUNRISE AT JOLLEY CAMPER RV PARK IN ASHTON - TETONS IN THE DISTANCE

LOWER MESA FALLS

 We planned to be in Yellowstone by Wednesday but changed our minds so we could get wifi to see how our friend was progressing after his operation. 


We, by chance discovered on the map the Mesa Falls Scenic byway and I cannot describe it better than what google says:

At Upper Mesa Falls, a thunderous curtain of water – as tall as a 10-story building – pours over remnants of an ancient volcanic super-eruption that spewed ash over much of the current US. A mile south, Lower Mesa Falls repeats the performance; the river continually chiseling away at the solidified ash and lava. Some layers are more than a million years old. Today, Upper and Lower Mesa Falls are the last prominent waterfalls on the Snake River to resist human control.

They were spectacular!
