Located in the Hagerman Valley. With an elevation of 2,900 feet and 
located in the Snake River Canyon, it is very protected and referred

ago by the great Bonneville flood, a massive volume of turbulent 
water that broke loose, creating an amazing and unique geology. We

thousand springs and waterfalls draining from the Snake River Aquifer 
out of 200 foot high, vertical canyon wall...
