🌉 THE PERRINE BRIDGE 🌉 

How was my day trip to Twin Falls?! Such a great time.  I explored so much, and that’s just the beginning! Im working on a 🆕 blog post to highlight my trip.  In the meantime, I’ll share some highlight reels from my trip this week. 

Like visiting the Perrine Bridge. 

Originally named the Twin Falls-Jerome Intercounty Bridge, a steel cantilever bridge was opened to traffic 93 years ago in September 1927, and formally dedicated by Governor H. C. Baldridge on October 1, 1927.

During the 1970s, the original bridge was outdated and unable to manage heavier loads.  Construction on the new bridge was started in early 1970s and finished in 1976. The bridge was dedicated and renamed to the Perrine Bridge — named after I.B. Perrine , credited for his efforts in leading irrigation efforts in the Magic Valley and being one of the founders of Twin Falls. 

Fun facts about the Perrine Bridge: 

🔳 Popular spot for BASE jumpers 
🔳  Evel Knievel attempted his Snake River Canyon Jump in 1974 along a dirt ramp East of the Bridge 
🔳 Eight highest bridge in the US , standing at 486 above the Snake River 

The Twin Falls visitor center is right nearby and great place to grab free materials & buy local gifts. 

Thank you visitsouthernidaho for the invite! Big thanks to you all who gave some incredible suggestions and your favorite go-to spots. I need to return for another day trip & cross more adventures off my #GemStateBucketList ✅✅
