Shoshone Falls rises again — don’t miss your chance to see it

Want to see Shoshone Falls in all its splendor and glory?

You still have a chance to.

The Twin Falls Times News reported that snow and rain fall mixed with warmer temperatures has made it so more water needs to be released from the Snake River's storage system.

Brian Stevens, a hydrologist with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Upper Snake field office in Heyburn, said the bureau will run 15,000 cubic feet per second through the Mid-Snake region and over Shoshone Falls for up to two weeks, depending on irrigation demand and temperatures.

Currently the river flow is only at 5,000 cfs according to Twin Falls Times News. Once the water rises to 15,000 cfs, it is sure to be as much of a spectacle as earlier this year.
