Shoshone Falls, Idaho

Another beautiful Timothy O’Sullivan photograph, this landscape of the Shoshone Falls depicts the gorgeous falls located in Snake River, Idaho. The falls are actually a giant waterfall and are often called the “Niagara of the West” – though it’s actually taller than Niagara Falls! Can you imagine that?

Its location was an important fishing and trading location for Native Americans in the 19th century, though it shortly became a tourist destination. We can see why!
