旅の最後の日の夕暮れ時、ショショーニ滝を見に行きました。- We went to see the Shoshone Falls near sunset on the last day of our trip.

予想外の素晴らしさに感動です。ウィキペディアによると、「西のナイアガラの滝」と呼ばれているそうで、ナイアガラより11m高いということです。- I was moved by the mystical and spectacular view which I didn’t expect. According to Wikipedia, it’s called “Niagara of the West”. It is 45 feet higher than Niagara Falls.

スネーク川にはこの滝だけでなく、この街の由来ともなったツイン滝などもあります。夏ですから、カヤックを楽しむ人たちもたくさんいます。ところで、このスネーク川に架かるペリン橋は、あることで有名です。- Besides Shoshoni Falls, there are more falls on the Snake River. The Twin Falls which became the city’s name, for example. Can you see tiny dots on the river in the picture below? They are kayakers. The Snake river running through the town is a very important part of daily living for the town’s people. The bridge where I took the picture from is called Perrin bridge, and surprisingly famous for one particular activity.

ベースジャンピングという言葉を聞いたことがあるでしょうか。飛行機からではなく、地上にある高い建物や崖からパラシュートで飛び降りるとても危険なスポーツの事です。ペリン橋はベースダイビングが公式に許されている世界でも数少ないベーススポットなんです。怖!- Have you heard the word “BASE jumping“? It is a very dangerous sport. This sport is started by jumping off from high buildings or tall cliffs with a parachute rather than jumping off from an airplane. The Perrin bridge is one of a few BASE spots in the world officially allowed to do such dangerous jumps. Scary..!
