How far away is Shoshone Falls from the Oregon Trail??

Answer 1

"Not all the emigrants had the opportunity to visit Shoshone Falls, but those who took the short side trip were in for a remarkable experience. The falls offered a fantastic view unlike any other in the US. Those who had been to Niagra noted the similarity, but Shoshone Falls is higher and has a greater volume of water than its New York cousin. "

The trail was to the south of the city of Twin Falls and the river was to the north of the town. Shoshone Falls is located approximately five miles east of Twin Falls.

Here's a link to a map that shows where everything is located.
