snake river canyon jump

Amidst the aftermath of the Vietnam War and Watergate scandal, Evel Knievel's daring jump over Snake River Canyon in 1974 captured the nation's attention.

You won't see this every day. A rare unused jump ticket from Evel Knivel's failed Snake River Canyon Jump from 1974 has surfaced on Ebay.

I find it hard to believe that it's already been one year. But, this Saturday marks the one-year anniversary of Eddie Braun's successful jump over Snake River Canyon.

If you thought the Snake River Canyon jump looked amazing from the ground, wait until you see it from a camera that was mounted on Eddie Braun's rocket.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KLIX) – Eddie Braun’s public relations office released a statement about the stuntman’s successfully flying over the Snake River Canyon in a high-powered rocket on Friday afternoon. The statement, which was issued Friday night, reads:

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KLIX) – At a little before 4 p.m. Friday, Eddie Braun did what his hero Evel Knievel couldn’t do in 1974 – successfully cross the Snake River Canyon in a high-powered Skycycle.

Evel Knievel's attempt to jump the Snake River Canyon on September 8, 1974 was one of the most important events in the history of Twin Falls. It forever cemented southern Idaho into pop culture lore.
