What clients say about Perrine Memorial Bridge in Jerome (ID)
It is beautiful here. If you are in town for the falls, stop here also (the viewpoint). The bridge is a feat of civil engineering and is so cool! It's easy to park in the lot here to check out the viewpoint and there's a really nice paved trail to walk along the canyon as far as you want.
Pulling up to the Perrine Memorial Bridge was an experience on its own. Almost immediately, I saw someone jump off the bridge with a parachute, which was pretty wild and definitely not something you see every day. It really adds to the unique atmosphere of the place. On top of that, the views of the Snake River Canyon are incredible and make the bridge worth stopping at even without the BASE jumpers. It’s a memorable stop and a great place to take in the scenery plus, you might witness something unexpected.
Absolutely amazing!!! People are permitted to base jump off the bridge. They come from worldwide to jump. You can walk out onto the bridge and under it. There is a really nice paved walkway/bike path along side it with scenic overlooks along the way. There is plenty of parking at the visitor center. Make sure you take the route down into the public golf course under the bridge. Stop at the first hairpin turn next to the concrete barriers. You can do a short hike to this amazing waterfall that I have pictured!!!! Oh and the land under the bridge is for sale for $14,900,000!
We drove over the bridge on the way to Shoshone Falls, but we pulled over as we crossed to get a better view. There's a little parking lot with a nice walkway/running path to get a good look at the bridge. The bridge itself is very nice and the area around it is very pretty. It's worth a 30 minute, or less, stop.
This was a fun place to run around with the kids for a bit. The visitor's center is cute and well-maintained. It is a great starting point to figure out what to do in the area. We also saw a few base jumpers leap from the bridge, so that was cool!
Thousands of cars just drive over this bridge without stopping to walk underneath the bridge and marvel at the engineering structure that this bridge is. As a bonus, a HUGE AMERICAN Flag was flying over the Snake River Gorge. What a treat that was - USA! USA! USA!
Beautiful bridge. It's fun to watch the BASE jumpers and even contact an instructor for a tandem if you are adventurous! (BASE Jump The Bridge LLC s who I contacted. Awesome!)
There are some killer views on both sides of the bridge. It’s a big draw for BASE jumpers and we saw some preparing their gear to jump but didn’t stay around to see them jump.
Will likely stop back by tomorrow to see if more jumpers are there and maybe see them jump.
Beautiful bridge spanning the Snake River. There’s a beautiful Visitor Center right by the one end in Twin Falls, with walkways and a viewing area. There was a 9/11 remembrance the day we were there with a HUGE flag suspended over the gorge. The bridge is two lanes in each direction and you can also walk across it as well.
Beautiful overlooks, fascinating rock formations. We saw a small fall but the Shoshone Falls were not running. (September) We did witness a nice 911 commemoration and patriotic tribute.

Twin Falls ID on US-93
It is free to visit and free to park at the Twin Bridge Visitor Center.
The bridge is 486 feet high and reaches 1,500 feet going across the Snake River in Twin Falls, ID. You can even take a long walk across it. The bridge is open year-round to BASE jumpers. The only bridge in America that you are allowed to jump off. See the visitor Center for details. More than likely, you will see people getting their shoot packed up. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to see one jump.
There is a beautiful view of the bridge and the Snake River from the viewing platform close to the parking lot. It is handicap accessible. Worth the visit!
Absolutely stunning. We were able to stop just across the bridge and walk down to an area that was meant to take pictures from him. It was right. It's beautiful. The weather was nice. The water was gorgeous. The waterfalls across the way the way we are. We're beautiful, and the whole area was just yeah, magic
Awesome views, a place to think, to seat and relax. Love golfing? Here is the place to relax and enjoy your sport.
Beside this beautiful place the area offers you do many restaurants and fast food, hotels and other recreational entertainment. Visit and get delighted .
This spot is breathtaking! I visit on purpose just for the amazing picture opportunity. It can be so fun to watch the base jumpers too. I love the giftshop there as well.
Wonderful scenic stop less than 10 minutes away from the interstate that boasts beautiful canyon and panoramic views. Wide turquoise blue waters and seasonal waterfalls make this a good fun side quest to your main adventure. Plenty of parking in the visitors area and RV / Bus parking along the shoulder before or after the bridge. We lucked out - beautiful weather!
Very scenic and nice bridge! It was fun taking photos and walking along the long bridge. Check out the visitor center as well in Twin Falls. Beautiful views everywhere along the Snake River canyon!
This is a beautiful bridge and worth the stop to check it out. Lots of places to eat near by. You may be lucky to see some base jumping from the bridge.
Its worth a quick stop to view the gorge and river below. Plenty of free parking. Nice giftshop and information centre which has restrooms. Nice to see a memorial to Evil Kenevil in the carpark. 15min stop.
What a blast visiting the Perrine Memorial Bridge! This spot is perfect for a scenic lunch with jaw-dropping views of the canyon – seriously, you could sit there for hours just soaking it all in. The visitor center was a great surprise, too! Super friendly staff, and I even learned some cool history about Evel Knievel and his famous jump attempt. Took me right back to when I was a kid watching him on TV – what a legend! If you're anywhere near Twin Falls, definitely make time for this stop. It's fun and fascinating, and the scenery is unforgettable!
Great views. Looking east from the bridge, you can see Evel Knievels mound of dirt he used as a ramp to jump the snake river in 1974.
Look for people parachuting from the east side of the bridge.
Park at the visitor center on the southwest side of the bridge. There are paths that goes under the bridge to get to the west and east side of the bridge.
the most beautiful and Scenic Bridge we have ever been on. it feels like a whole another world when you're crossing over it and the view is awe-inspiring. plan to spend about 1 hour and a half hiking over and back. best place to start is at the rest area, located on the southwest side of the bridge. if you come to Twin Falls and you miss this, you might as well not have came to twin falls.
Worth the stop. If you ever have reason to come over this way by all means stop by and see this bridge. If you don't have a reason to come to Jerome Idaho, then come to see the bridge! Take the extra 15 minutes and visit the Shoshone Falls also. Breath taking views, and if you're lucky enough, you'll get to watch base jumpers leave the bridge and parachute to the river below.
Gorgeous views! Definitely worth stopping for pictures and views. Offers walking trails and lookouts.Stunning views of the gorge that you can access through a platform safely. Nice trails under the Perrine bridge gives an opportunity to view the whole canyon area from different angles. Small platforms on the walking trail offers a safe viewing area over the canyon. Very pleasant experience.
