A national website has just named places you should avoid visiting like the plague. Guess what's #2 on their list? Yep, and it's right in our backyard.

The website is called Your Daily Dish and they named the most overrated places that aren't worth visiting. #2 on their list are seasonal waterfalls which obviously includes our own Shoshone Falls. Their argument isn't completely baseless. Some people just assume that every famous waterfall is going strong 365 days a year.

But, I must take them to task over the "aren't worth visiting" part. The video above was taken in March of 2016. Can they really say that Shoshone Falls wasn't worth visiting when it had over 20,000 CFS pouring over the rocks this past spring?

Should the city of Twin Falls do a better job of communicating to the rest of the world that the falls hit their peak around June? Maybe. But, for anyone that does even a little bit of research, the city does make available the current water flow over Shoshone and even a live webcam.

I know all about the irrigation reasons why the Shoshone Falls water is diverted part of the year. Yes, I wish it had full water flow all year round. But, no, I do not agree that everyone should refuse to visit for this reason. A well-researched trip during the summer months can result in a once-in-a-lifetime experience for those that love waterfalls.
